What is an HD Upconverter?
An HD Upconverter (High Definition Upconverter) is a device that converts the digital data embedded in DVDs into a format that can be directly viewed on a HDTV (High-Definition Television) without an intermediate conversion to an analog signal. An upconverter also digitally enhances and enlarges the standard lower resolution of some DVDs and ‘upconverts’ it so it can be seen clearly on a HDTV. In addition, some of the modern HD upconverters can even convert the frame rate of 35 mm movies to that of HDTV’s so that flickering is avoided when such movies are viewed on a HDTV.
A high definition upconverter or HD upconverter, is a device that allows DVD signals to be transferred directly to an HDTV (high definition television) without intermediate analog conversion. This improves resolution and overall picture quality. These devices are also known as DTV upconverters (digital television upconverters). DVD (digital versatile disc) is an optical technology that stores audio and video signals in digital format for the clearest reproduction. A digital format is superior to an analog format, the technology used by older televisions and computer equipment. A standard DVD player is designed to broadcast to a standard-definition television and translates the digital output into an analog signal the television can understand. In the case of digital HDTV, the standard DVD player converts the signal to analog, bumps the resolution from 480 lines per frame up to 1080, then converts the signal back to digital. This results in a certain amount of degradation in picture qua
