VGA Video Display Support
The Intense 3D Pro 2200S Graphics Accelerator provides onboard
VGA video display support. The maximum resolution supported is 800
x 600, 4 bits per pixel, at 60 Hz vertical refresh.
Texture Processing
Texture processing is provided by the onboard graphics/texture
processing engine. Full texture processing is supported, including
trilinear interpolation of MIP-mapped images.
Texture processing performance can be increased with the addition of
either a 4 MB or a 16 MB optional texture memory module. The 4 MB
module provides texture acceleration up to 1 Mtexel at 32 bits per texel
(RGBA) and supports a map size up to 512 x 512 (MIP-mapped or nonMIP-mapped). The 16 MB module provides texture acceleration up to
4 Mtexels at 32 bits per texel (RGBA) and supports a map size up to
1K x 1K (MIP-mapped or non-MIP-mapped).
DDC and DPMS Support
23
The Intense 3D Pro 2200S Graphics Accelerator provides hardware
support for the Display Data Channel (DDC) standard for
communication between a host computer and its monitor. Intense 3D
Pro 2200S supports the DDC2B standard, which allows for
bidirectional communication.
The Graphics Accelerator provides hardware support for the Display
Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard. DPMS allows for a
host computer to send its monitor a signal to enter a power-saving
mode.
Interfaces
The Intense 3D Pro 2200S Graphics Accelerator has two interfaces: a
video output port, and a stereo sync output port. These interfaces are
