# Converting the scan type
<a name="vq-scan-type"></a>

You can convert the scan type of the input to a different scan type: progressive, interlaced, hard telecine, or soft telecine. You can configure to leave the scan type as is or to convert from one incoming type (or a mix of incoming scan types) to another single type.
