All the District scorpion cases do not have a scan converter in them so FIRST gave us an option of what video output we wanted. I think all the districts opted for DVI as you can get DVI, VGA, and HDMI from the DVI-I output.

For MAR, we've done it two ways since the audience screen is limited to 1280x720 resolution.
1) 720p: 15ft DVI to HDMI cable straight into our video switch equipment.
2) 1080p: DVI -> VGA adapter into VGA->HDMI scan converter which scales the resolution up to 1080p then via HDMI into our video switch.

Obviously what you can connect to is out of your control, but on the standard scorpion case you could connect to the VGA pass through which will output the audience screen as if it was on another computer monitor. From that you could scale that to whatever resolution you wanted. This is what we were going to do in MAR before we found out this year that we were getting a DVI output.
