I think "standard" and "system" are also fairly common names for this property.

I once had an old multi-standard Sharp CRT TV that allowed manually selecting
the expected color encoding (PAL/SECAM/NTSC/NTSC-443), and the relevant button
on the remote was labeled "SYSTEM".

V4L2 calls this "standard", see include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h, compare with
v4l2_std_id, V4L2_STD_* etc.

BTW, maybe reusing those V4L2 constants, or aligning the numerical values,
would make some sense?
