To display a program at a specific resolution, you must install the appropriate video drivers and your display and/or external monitor must support the resolution. Similarly, the
number of colors that a program can display depends on the capabilities of the display and/or monitor, the video driver, and the amount of video memory installed in the
computer.

ZV port
Abbreviation for zoomed video port. A port to the video controller that provides hardware MPEG-1 decode (and encode) solutions in notebooks. These solutions could include
PC Card (CardBus), or on-board solutions. ZV port must be integrated into portable computer board design to allow for these solutions to be passed directly through to the
video processor, circumventing the processor, allowing for more efficient CPU utilization.
NOTE: Windows NT does not support zoomed video.
