Don't have that exact unit, but scan converters in general frame buffer 
the input and then output their signal from that buffer.  If it accepts an 
interlaced signal at all from the VGA end it will probably wait until both 
fields show up and pass the whole frame to the output.  That is why I'm 
dumping my scan converter and have an Audio Authority VGA -> Component 
converter on the way.  The darned things are just too smart.  For most PC 
to TV work modern scan converters are great, accepting a wide variety 
of vodeo modes and making a good effort to get a usable picture onto a 
TV. but not for video.
