1.3 Getting the Best Results
There are many factors affecting the quality of results when Composite, YCbCr or S-
Video signals are up-converted to computer or HDTV resolutions. Some basic
precautions will ensure the best possible performance from your Video Scaler.
•Output display device– The quality of the output signal will depend largely upon
the type and quality of display device used. For instance, some video projectors
just look better than others.
•Distance between the Video Scaler and the display device – This plays a
major role in the final result. Long distances are possible, but special measures
should be taken in order to avoid cable losses. These include using high quality
(coax-type) cables or adding line amplifiers.
•Output connection cables – Low quality cables are susceptible to interference.
They degrade signal quality due to poor matching and cause elevated noise
levels. Therefore, cables should be of the best quality. Coax-type computer
cables are recommended because of their superior internal shielding
characteristics.
•Interference from nearby electrical devices – Such devices can have an
adverse effect on signal quality. For example, an older computer monitor often
emits very high electromagnetic fields that can interfere with the performance of
video equipment in its proximity.
