It could also be recorded on 2" quad VTRs without any extra kit for colour. In the studio it was horrible. Couldn't directly be mixed or faded.
I heard SECAM studios used to use PAL or later component mixers & faders, with the output only converted to SECAM late in the chain.
The cost of this kind of setup was one of the reasons the Eastern European countries switched to PAL in the 1990s.
