Computer Graphics Video & HDTV Scan Converter The scan converter for computer graphics video signals. It converts a computer graphics video signal up to 2048x2048 or an HDTV signal to two composite and two s-Video (Y/C) signals simultaneously in either PAL or NTSC formats. What are Scan Converters? Scan converters are devices that convert computer-video signals into a signal that is compatible with a television. Sometimes a scan converter is referred to as a "PC to TV" converter or a "PC to video" converter. The concept seems simple, but scan converters use complex technology to achieve signal conversion because computer signals and television signals are very different.
How are they used? Anytime you want to display a computer-generated image on an NTSC or PAL-based device, like a TV or VCR, you must use a scan converter. Typically, scan converters are used in applications such as video production in a computer-based training environment, videoconferencing, distance learning, broadcasting, and production.
