2.11 Versatile Frame Buffer Interface
The Video-107PCI -3D features a versatile frame buffer
interface, providing SDRAM/SGRAM interface flexibility to meet
the demand of high-end and mid-end PC desktop integrates.
Optimized performance can be achieved with the single cycle
memory bus interface using programmable DRAM timing.
The display queue has been increased to reduce the
frequency of the memory bus requests, optimizing the
memory bus efficiency for the graphic controller. The
employment of SGRAM/SDRAM provides an abundant
memory bandwidth for both high-resolution display and
playback.
The Video-107PCI -3D has access to system memory with
sideband addressing. In the execute mode, the Video-107PCI
-3D is able to use both the graphics memory and the system
memory as the primary graphics memory. As a result, 3D
rendering performance and quality are greatly enhanced.
2.12 Hi-Res and Hi-Ref Display Support
The Video-107PCI -3D display enhancements dramatically
improve CRT resolution. These enhancements include
support of non-interlaced 1024x768x16M, 800x600x16M, and
640x480x16M colors for “full spectrum” color. Extended text
modes of 80 or 132 columns by 25, 30, 43, or 60 rows
provide an extended graphics area frequently used in many
spreadsheet and database applications. Software drivers that
provide a “ready-to-go” solution, minimizing the need for
additional driver development, support extended graphics
and text modes.
When this function is enabled, a selected portion of a large
image can be shown on a smaller display. The image can
also be moved across the whole screen, either up or down.
The Video-107PCI -3D is able to automatically detect DDC
monitors with I²C signaling.
2.13 CRT Power Management (VESA DPMS)
The Video-107PCI -3D conforms to standard power
management schemes, as defined by VESA™ for CRT.
