8.04 VIDEO FEATURE / V-PORT CONNECTOR (J6)
The J6 connector is a VESA/VGA pass-through connector. It supports the 8-bit mode
directly and the 16-bit mode when using an external data multiplexer.
Through the J6 connector, the VIPer807 makes possible dynamic overlay. In dynamic
overlay configurations, the video signal can be overlayed on a pixel by pixel basis. This
makes it possible to overlay a portion of the frame and mix the signal with externally
generated video signal. Both the video source and the choice of pixels to overlay can be
changed dynamically.
The J6 connector also supports the 8-bit V-PORT, with options such as live video capture
(TV in a window) or hardware MPEG decode interface. V-PORT eliminates the need for
an external video frame buffer and additional hardware. It also enables video multimedia
add-in card solutions. If you want to use the V-PORT capabilities, contact Technical
Support for other important information (including changes in the connector's signals).
Jumpers W4 and W5 are used for configuring the J6 connector: enabling / disabling the
feature connector, or enabling the V-PORT.
Note: When the feature connector or the V-PORT is enabled, the Flat Panel connector
will support 18-bit Flat Panels or less (maximum 256K colors). When the video feature
connector is disabled, Flat Panels types above 18-bit are supported (for example, 24-bit).
