Some Examples
Up conversion (interpolation):
- In many LCD monitors there is a native picture mode, however the monitor can display different graphical modes using a scan converter.
- In a 100 Hz/120Hz analog TV, there is a scan converter circuit which converts the vertical frequency (refresh rate) from standard 50/60Hz to 100/120Hz to achieve a low level of flicker which is important in large screen (high inch) TVs.
- An external TV card receives the TV signals and converts them to VGA or SVGA format to display on monitor.
Down conversion (decimation):
- Many graphic cards have output for standard-definition television. Here there is a conversion from computer graphical modes to TV standard formats.
- Other graphic cards lack an SDTV output, but their VGA outputs can still be connected to an SDTV through an external scan converter (pictured).
Scan conversion serves as a bridge between TV and computer graphics technology.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
