To expand the range of applications, Mitsubishi built a video scan converter into the 37-inch monitor. With the converter, the XC-3725C is the only high-resolution monitor that up-converts standard NTSC, PAL, SECAM or S-VHS video to 31.5 kHz non-interlaced, and simultaneously broadens the compatibility range and improves the signal quality.
