Scalers convert video format information to one of many resolutions (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p). Scalers, although often confused with converters, perform a different function. Upconvertion is a process by which a signal is altered from an inferior format to a superior one. ie, from composite video to component video, or from component video to DVI or HDMI. Scalers can make standard definition television programming look cleaner and more appealing when viewed on a high definition screen. Scalers come packaged in audio-video receivers or as a stand alone unit.
