scaler
Removes fish armor
A scaler is something that scales—a tool for removing scale from fish, a dental instrument for scraping tarite from teeth, or in computing, hardware or software that resizes images or video: The video scaler upconverts 1080p to 4K.
In technical contexts, a scaler may be a device that counts electrical pulses.
