Format translation devices
Converters are devices or things that change one form into another.
A catalytic converter transforms exhaust pollutants into less harmful gases.
A converter box changes digital television signals for older analog sets.
In computing, file converters translate documents between formats.
The word applies broadly to anything that converts: currency converters, unit converters, power converters.
