Graphics Features
The system features a PCI local bus motion video playback
controller and graphics accelerator.
Motion Video Controller
The motion video controller is supported on 16 and 32 MB
multimedia configurations. The video controller integrates a
Windows graphical user interface (GUI) engine and motion
video playback hardware.
MPEG is a compression/decompression standard developed
by a professional video group called the Motion Picture
Experts Group. MPEG produces full-screen, 30-frames-
per-second (fps), broadcast-quality digital video. This
basically means viewing movies on your computer. Support
includes:
T
MPEG-1
T
Video for Windows.
Graphics Accelerator
The graphics accelerator is specifically designed for
graphics-intensive operations, text and color pixel
amplification, and scrolling. The graphics accelerator
provides 64-bit, ultra-high performance for demanding True
Color, High Color, and pseudocolor GUI and computer-
aided design (CAD) applications.
The accelerator minimizes bus traffic by off-loading the
tasks normally performed by the processor. The dedicated
bit-block transfer (BitBLT) engine maximizes performance
by speeding the movement of large blocks of image data in
video memory.
