Yes, Raw PAL is 50Hz. However, some PAL TV's support "PAL 60", for
playback of NTSC content (From DVDs and the like). It still uses the
PAL colourspace, but refreshes at 60Hz rather than 50. If you hear
your TV jump and the picture seems a little more "Liney" (Like there's
a scanline effect on the image), chances are you're running @ PAL60.
