I am based in the UK and need to show several of my videos in the USA. The videos were authored in Premier Pro CS6 and rendered as PAL DV/.AVI files for use in Europe. I am proposing to take my laptop (DELL 1555 with VGA (D-SUB) and HDMI outputs) loaded with vMix and videos and was wondering if anyone can advise whether there are likely to be any issues playing these PAL files through a USA projector (NEC NP4000 Digital Projector) or USA monitors. Within the spec of the projector there was reference to compatibility with 720 and 576 Frame Sizes and PAL but this was in connection with Component and Video Inputs and I am uncertain whether this is relevant to the VGA input route. If there are any issues I would be grateful for “work-around” proposals. Many thanks, Maurice

PAL and NTSC are more broadcast transmission standards and only apply to TV really.
Only consideration here is the frame rate of PAL is 25fps and NTSC is 30fps (which is half the mains oscilation frequency in Europe and USA respectively).
It harks back to days of analogue broadcast.

Projectors and monitors use different methods to display video signals so you should be fine with either encoding
