Correct. When color tv was introduced here in the States, they had to make the signal compatible with the some 30 million b&w tv sets that had already been sold. What they discovered was that if the audio, the b&w video and the additional color signal were all running at the exact same refresh rate, they interfered with one another. So the video refresh rate was altered very slightly to 29.97. Hence film-based material had to be slowed down from 24 to 23.976.
