In general, scaling interlaced video does not look very good but I believe the scaler can do that. The catch is probably that you have to set up the core to scale up from 270 to 288 rather than from 540 to 576. This is certainly true for the clipper as well; to get the quadrant you are interested in you should clip to 720 x 220.
