11
TM
& Clock
cache, and command FIFO that optimize memory bandwidth
and maximize graphics performance.
2.12 Full Feature High Performance 3D Engine
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV 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 pipe line and
reducing parameter passing, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV
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 (1-, 4-, or 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.
2.13 TrueVideo® Processor
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV, with an integrated Video Display
and a Capture Engine, supports dual 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 107AGP 3D & TV
can provide dual video windows that display different images
from different video sources (from the PCI bus and from the
capture port) on the same screen. 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
12
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 107AGP 3D & TV supports a YUV 420
format that can remove redundant video stream decoding
procedures. The load of the CPU is reduced while performing
SW MPEG or SW video conferencing. The color and
luminance control provided by the Video 107AGP 3D & TV
offers color compensations to prevent color distortion for
display devices such as a CRT or TV with Gamma correction
and hue adjustment control.
The Video Conferencing feature allows remote and local video
images to be displayed simultaneously on the same screen.
2.14 Video Capture and DVD
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV has an 8-bit Video Module
Interface (VMI) compatible interface, allowing it to be directly
connected to many MPEG and video decoders such as the CCube CL450/480, SGS 3400/3500, Philips 7110/1 and
Brooktree BT819/817/827/829.
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV, integrated with a DVD video
hardware block for motion compensation, gives existing PCs
the ability to play DVD video in MPEG-2 format at high
bandwidths with very good video quality.
A new industry standard is being set for transmission of nonvideo data over a TV broadcast signal during vertical blanking
dead time. This technology is referred to as Intercast. The
Video 107AGP 3D & TV has the ability to take the entire video
stream over the video port, sending the visible video stream to
the display memory for display in a window, stripping the VBI
data from the stream, and then sending this data to the CPU
for processing using PCI Bus Mastering.
2.15 Versatile Frame Buffer Interface
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV features a versatile frame buffer
interface, providing SDRAM/SGRAM interface flexibility to
meet the demand of high-end and mid-end notebook designs.
