significantly improves graphics performance through

specialized hardware that accelerates the most frequently

used GUI operations and matches the high-speed

requirements of CPUs. Functions directly supported in

hardware include: BitBLTs, image and text transfer, line draw,

short stroke vector draw, rectangle fills, and clipping.

The graphics engine supports 256 Raster Operations

(ROPs) for up to 32-bit packed pixel graphic modes. The

ROP3 Processor in the Video-107PCI -3D is able to perform

Boolean functions which allow many additional operations,

including transparency, pattern masking, color expansion

alignment, and pattern enhancement. Additionally, the

graphics engine features linear display memory addressing,

accelerated color expansion modes for graphics text

procession, and memory-mapped I/O registers on the

graphics engine for faster access time.

A 64-bit internal data bus and a four-color hardware

cursor/pop-up icon, operating up to a 128x1128x2 pixel

image, which off-loads the CPU, optimize graphic functions.

The hardware cursor mechanism can also be used to display

patterns stored in the system memory. This pop-up icon is

very useful to display user-friendly information instantly

through simple hot key operations.

This advanced function combination allows significant

performance increases over standard Super VGA designs

and provides outstanding graphics acceleration on GUIs,

such as Microsoft ® Windows 95.

2.8 Highly Integrated RAMDAC

& Clock Synthesizer

The highly integrated design of the Video-107PCI -3D offers a

“no TTL” solution for cost-effective, high-performance

multimedia subsystem designs for the IBM ® PC and

compatible notebooks. The 64-bit memory data bus

supporting SDRAM and SGRAM memory provides faster data

transfer rates for improved system throughput. The Video-

107PCI -3D has a built-in, high speed RAMDAC™. The

RAMDAC™ is composed of one 256x24 and one 256x18

color lookup table and a triple loop frequency synthesizer,

providing the read/write timing control for the Frame Buffer

Memory and the refresh of the TV/CRT display.

Video processor features include: on-chip hardware Color

Space Conversion (CSC) for faster data conversion on the fly,

Horizontal/Vertical (H/V) scaling with interpolation, edge

recovery algorithm, gamma correction, and overlay control

with different color depths from graphics. The Video-107PCI -

3D also includes a fully integrated GUI accelerator, read

cache, and command FIFO that optimize memory bandwidth

and maximize graphics performance.

2.9 Full Feature High Performance 3D Engine

The Video-107PCI -3D is equipped with an advanced

Graphics Drawing, Single Cycle 3D Graphics Engine that

performs premium 3D functions at a high level of more than

1M triangles per second. The 3D engine supports Microsoft ®

Direct3D. The 3D Engine is set up to off-load the CPU from

major 3D tasks including slope calculation, sub-pixel

positioning, and Tri-striping. By balancing 3D pipeline and

reducing parameter passing, the Video-107PCI -3D

approaches the high levels of performance. The 3D engine is

integrated with a triangle set-up engine that sets up triangles

according to the input data of triangle vertex and

accomplishes various functions for 3D rendering. Gouraud

shading provides smooth shading for colors across

surfaces, perspective correction texture mapping to correct

texture data based on the perspective, bi-linear texture

filtering for interpolating, alpha blending to compensate

colors for the opacity of two colors blended, Z-buffering (16-

bit/24-bit), video texturing to overlay 2D video play-back onto

3D images, fogging to simulate weather effects, palletized

texture mapping 8-bit for memory and bandwidth reduction,

and anti-aliasing to reduce or eliminate jaggies resulted from

alias rendering. The 3D engine also works with the APM

system, conserving power while the 3D operations are

suspended.

2.10 TrueVideo® Processor

The Video-107PCI-3D, with an integrated Video Display

Engine, supports apertures on the PCI bus which enables

independent graphic and video data to be transported

simultaneously to and from different memory areas and

greatly accelerates the performance of both DirectDraw™ and

DirectVideo™. The video image is stored in the off-screen

memory and is retrieved by the Video Display Processing

block for TrueVideo® processing.

With the help of DirectDraw™ acceleration for sprites, page

flipping, double buffering, and color keying, TrueVideo®

processing is performed by utilizing Trident’s proprietary

edge recovery algorithm for sharper line visibility, de-

interlacing, anti-tearing, multitap horizontal filtering, dithering,

and scaling operations with bilinear interpolation in both

horizontal and vertical directions. The linear scaling permits

zoom in/out to any size without any restrictions. In addition,

the on-chip hardware Color Space Conversion (CSC)

accelerates conversion for 16 bit YUV pixels into linear true

color 32 bit RGB pixels on the fly. The additional X and Y

minifiers are capable of shrinking the video images to any

linear fractions, which saves bus bandwidths and memory

space. The YUV planar of the Video-107PCI -3D supports a

YUV 420 format that can remove redundant video stream

decoding procedures. The color and luminance control

provided by the Video-107PCI -3D offers color

compensations to prevent color distortion for display devices.

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.

The Video-107PCI -3D supports four states of VESA™

Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS), which

decreases monitor power consumption after timeout periods.

VESA™ DPMS power down states (ready, standby, suspend,

and off) specify HSYNC and VSYNC signals to control the

monitor power down state.

2.14 Complete Hardware Compatibility

The Video-107PCI -3D is fully compliant and supports

VESA™ DDC and VAFC standards. The Video-107PCI -3D is

100% IBM® VGA compatible on the BIOS and Drivers,

allowing full compatibility with virtually any VGA application

software.

8. Technical Assistance

Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch

display modes?

Explain and Suggestion:

Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not

synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases,

horizontal and vertical display adjustments may be necessary.

Use the monitor control panel functions to adjust screen.

In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be

necessary. Use the utility program, which provided by video card

manufacturer or production developer. To centering the display

with normal type (mode 3), and to reduce (decrease) the refresh

rate with the monitor’s specification.

Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 mode or higher

resolution mode?

Explain and Suggestion:

To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor

must be capable of synchronizing a 31.5KHz horizontal scan rate

(e.g., NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be

capable of synchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG

1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

To display 1024x768-interlaced mode, the monitor must be

capable of synchronizing a 35.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g.,
