2.6 Graphics Support
The LUKE processor comes with a S3 Chromotion graphics engine. The features listed below are compatible with S3 Graphics' Chrome S20 Series processors:
Chromotion Video Acceleration:-
o WMV9 Motion Compensation H/W Acceleration – Reduces CPU
utilization when decoding Windows Media Video 9 (WMV9) files.
o MPEG-2 IDCT and Motion Compensation H/W Acceleration –
Reduces CPU utilization when decoding MPEG2 files.
Chromotion Hi-Def™ Support:-
o HDTV Formats – Supports all 18 DTV ATSC formats. o Adaptive Per-Pixel De-Interlacing – Produces superior image quality for
3308050
both still and motion images using a high quality De-Interlacing proce ss.
o Video Deblocking – Removes blocking artifacts inherent in low bit rate
images.
o ChromoVision – Displays full screen video on secondary HDTV display
while a windows display of the video is on the primary CRT or DVI display.
o ChromoVision Modes with ChromeView Non-Linear Scaling – Scales
a standard 4:3 image to fill a wide-screen 16:9 display with excellent image quality.
o PanelDrive – Eliminates blurring effects with motion video on panel
displays by increasing panel response time.
o ChromoColor – Provides adjustment controls for the brightness, contrast,
hue and saturation of the display of video.
Chromotion Video Image Controls:-
o ChromoColor Tonal Adjustment – Allows fine-tuning of luma values for
the video display with controls for black point and white point enhancement.
o ArtisticLicense Effects – Allows high quality image enhancements;
including Sharpening, Soft Focus, Embossing, and Neon Edge effects.

2.10 Ethernet Controller
2.10.1 Introduction
The Realtek RTL8110S Ethernet controller combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, 32-bit PCI bus controller, and embedded memory. The device supports the PCI v2.2 bus interface for host communications with power management, and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3
3308050
specification for 10/100Mbps Ethernet and the IEEE 802.3ab specification for 1000Mbps Ethernet. It also supports an auxiliary power auto-detect function, and will auto-configure related bits of the PCI power management registers in PCI configuration space.
2.10.2 Realtek RTL8110S Features
Realtek RTL8110S features are listed below
Integrated 10/100/1000 transceiver Auto-Negotiation with Next page capability Supports PCI 2.2, 32bit, 33/66MHz Supports pair swap/polarity/skew correction Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction Wake-on-LAN and remote wake-up support Microsoft® NDIS5 Checksum Offload (IP, TCP, UDP) and largesend offload
support
Supports Full Duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x) Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging Serial EEPROM 3.3V signaling, 5V PCI I/O tolerant Transmit/Receive FIFO (8K/64K) support Supports power down/link down power saving
