High-motion

The effects of high motion can be reduced or negated by converter lag when NTSC video is converted to PAL, or vice versa (a particular problem for coverage of international sporting events such as the Olympic Games or the FIFA World Cup, for example); however, more recent motion adaptive converters can minimize this.

HVDC Cross-Channel

Because the first installation did not meet increasing requirements, it was replaced in 1975–1986 by a new HVDC system with a maximum transmission rating of 2,000 MW between France and Great Britain, for which two new converter stations were built in Sellindge (UK) and in Bonningues-lès-Calais (Les Mandarins station), near Calais, (France).

HVDC Italy–Corsica–Sardinia

At the Sardinian end, the new converter station was built next to the existing station but at the mainland end a new converter station was built at Suvereto.

In 1988 a third converter station, rated at 50 MW, along with a reversible ground electrode, was installed at Lucciana on Corsica, making the scheme into a multi-terminal scheme for the first time.

When originally completed in 1968 by English Electric, the scheme comprised two converter stations, at San Dalmazio in Tuscany on the Italian mainland and Codrongianos on Sardinia.
