Have you tried PAL with the 1070 the way it is? I used to live in a PAL country and some gear I had, designed for NTSC, would pass PAL without any problem. The only item affected was the on-screen menu which was a bit 'squeezed' but still perfectly readable. Perhaps you can check with Outlaw, but if there is no 'hidden switch,' they can at least tell you if a PAL signal will in any way harm the 1070's electronics.
