Initially known as the I.B.T.O. 625-line system this was the first 625-line system, developed by Mark Iosifovich Krivosheev in 1948,[4][5] and later associated with the SECAM and PAL color systems. Used on VHF only in most countries, it's usually combined with System K on UHF. In China it is used for both VHF and UHF.
