Hi Atul, While the graphics scaler is limited to an input of 1024 pixels wide (making 1024x576 the largest 16x9 framebuffer it will support), the video scaler does not have this limitation. It is capable of full HD resolutions. We use the graphics scaler for the UI but we use the video scaler for the times when HD really matters (video and photo display). The limitation of the graphics scaler is a hardware limitation. ------ Patrick Ellis Senior Software Engineer, Roku Get more out of your high-def TV.
