upconverting
Boosting signal quality
Upconverting is increasing the resolution or quality of video or audio to match a higher standard.
A DVD player upconverts standard-definition content to display on an HD television: The receiver upconverts everything to 4K.
The process doesn't add true detail—it interpolates or scales existing information to fill more pixels or bandwidth.
