1.3 Getting the Best Results
There are many factors affecting the quality of results when scaling video signals.
Some basic precautions will ensure the best possible performance from your Up
Converter.

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 converter 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
cables. Line amplifiers may also be necessary.

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 – These 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.
