No, not a standards converter (if you mean converting a 625 video signal to the 405 line standard).

The conversion by Jeffrey Borinsky produces a Channel 1 System A (405 lines VHF, 3MHz vision to sound carrier spacing) modulator, so that a standard domestic 405/VHF TV can receive it on Channel 1.

You'd still need a 405 line composite (baseband) video source to feed into the modulator.
