Denon AV Amps Progressive Scan Conversion

[magick]

I've noticed some of denons AV Amps can convert pal interlaced to progressive scan also with option of outputting it to hdmi. Is this a real time process and is the quality of the output good?

Could I a xbox or gamecube to the amp and have it converted to pal 576p and sent straight to a plasma via hdmi as opposed to chipping the consoles to enable setting the region to us? Also maybe you don't need component cables then as you can connect the consoles to the amp using composite or s-video?

Here's a link to the specs :- http://www.denon.co.uk/site/popup/index.php?p=techdat&Pid=237

I was wondering if the conversion is a real time process though. I know you can get expensive converters that can convert almost any signal to HD but they introduce a slight delay, so that makes them unusable with consoles. Thanks for the reply though.
