upconverting laserdiscs

Yes, you can send the output from a laserdisc player to a video processor to be upconverted. The player's output will be 480i and, depending on your video processor and display, will be interpolated to a higher resolution such as 720p, 1080i or 1080p.

While many laserdisc players had composite and S-video outputs, the video recorded on laserdiscs was composite: a comb filter was used to provide the S-video output. There were probably about 6 laserdisc players that actually realized S-video outputs which provided better picture quality, in their time, than if one just allowed the display to convert the composite output (the Pioneer CLD-79, CLD-97 and CLD-99, the Japanese market Pioneer X0 and X1 and a Runco THX certified player -- which was a modified Pioneer).
