registers on the graphics engine for faster access time.

Graphic functions are optimized by a 64-bit internal data bus
and a four-color hardware cursor/pop-up icon, operating up to
a 128x128x2 pixel image, which off-loads the CPU. 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® .

2.11 Highly Integrated RAMDAC

Synthesizer

The highly integrated design of the Video 107AGP 3D & TV
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
107AGP 3D & TV 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.

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 107AGP
3D & TV also includes a fully integrated GUI accelerator, read

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.
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

13

efficiency for the graphic controller. The employment of
SGRAM provides an abundant memory bandwidth for both
high resolution display and playback. A minimal SGRAM
interface requirement of four SGRAMs for a 1280x1024-64k
color SXGA minimizes chip count, system cost, and board
space for a cost-effective design solution.

With the support of AGP, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV has
access to system memory with sideband addressing. In the
execute mode, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV 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.

2.16 Hi-Res and Hi-Ref Display Support

The Video 107AGP 3D & TV display enhancements
dramatically improve CRT resolution. These enhancements
include support of non-interlaced 1280x1024x64K,
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. Extended graphics and text modes are
supported by software drivers that provide a “ready-to-go”
solution, minimizing the need for additional driver
development.

A virtual screen can be created with the Video 107AGP 3D &
TV.

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 107AGP 3D & TV is able to automatically detect
DDC monitors with I²C signaling.

2.17 CRT Power Management (VESA DPMS)

The Video 107AGP 3D & TV conforms to standard power
management schemes, as defined by VESA™ for CRT.

The Video 107AGP 3D & TV 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.

14

2.18 Standard PCI Bus Interface with Bus Mastering

Support

A simple Bus Interface Unit (BIU) provides a low cost, single
chip solution for IBM® PCs or compatibles on PCI 2.1 bus
systems with Bus Mastering capability and speeds up to
66MHz. Bus Mastering gives the Video 107AGP 3D & TV
access to the PCI bus, allowing data transfer from the
video/graphic chip to other devices on the same PCI bus. For
instance, the local CCD captured data can be sent to the PCI
bus for compression and delivery to a remote site.

The 8-bit Video Module Interface (VMI) compatible interface
supports video input devices such as MPEG decoders and
television tuners. Additionally, the zero-wait state host write
buffer, read cache, and memory mapped I/O increase
operating speeds and contribute to peak performance levels.
All the I/O interfaces are 5V tolerant, capable of interfacing
with external devices operating at 5V, even though the Video
107AGP 3D & TV runs at 2.5V. Graphics system throughput
is further enhanced by a command FIFO, allowing maximum
bus transfer speed for applications such as Windows® or
AutoCAD™ that directly access video memory.

2.19 Accelerated Graphics Port Support

The Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports the Accelerated
Graphics Port, an Intel defined standard, to increase the
available bandwidth for transferring 3D texture data and DVD
video playback. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports
different configurations of the AGP either in a base line AGP
using PCI Bus Master Protocol or in a full blown (double
clocking) for future expansion. In AGP address queuing, the
Video 107AGP 3D & TV is able to use system memory in
sideband addressing to improve the performance in texture
mapping, alpha blending, and Z-buffering in 3D and motion
compensation in DVD video playback.

2.20 Complete Hardware Compatibility

performing the installation, consult with a qualified computer technician.

6.2 Steps:

1. Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any peripherals
(printer, external drives, modem, etc.).

2. Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the
back of the computer.

3. Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and
remove the system cover. Refer to your system user manual
for instructions to determine the location of the mounting
screws.

4. Remove any graphics adapter that already installed on your
motherboard. Start by removing the screw that holds the
adapter retaining bracket in place (keep this screw, you will
need it later). Then, gently pull straight up on the adapter
card itself, and remove it from the motherboard.

5. Refer to your computer system manual for the location of the
AGP bus expansion slots. Remove the retaining screw that
holds the slot cover in place. Slide the slot cover out and put
the screw aside (you will need it to secure the adapter).
If you just removed an existing graphics adapter and are not
going to use that expansion slot, you can install the slot cover

21

you just removed from the unused expansion slot to cover the
open hole.

6. To install the adapter in the selected expansion slot, carefully
line up the gold-fingered edge connector on the adapter
directly above the expansion slot connector on the
motherboard. Then press the adapter into place, completely,
with necessary but minimum pressure. DO NOT USE
excessive force. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to
secure the adapter retaining bracket in place.

7. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the
mounting screws you removed in Step 3.

You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter
on your system.

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.

24

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.,
NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or 1440). To display 1024x768 non­interlaced mode at 60Hz, the monitor must be capable
of synchronizing a 48.7KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC
4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 70Hz, the monitor
must be capable of synchronizing a 56.4KHz scan rate (e.g.,
NEC 4D).

Q: Windows screen won’t come up, it kicks back to
DOS prompt. Why?

Explain and Suggestion:

Windows 3.1x™, or Windows for workgroup 3.1x™

The SYSTEM.INI file may contain different information with the
system hardware, cause by the new integration or the new
installation of a video adapter. The SYSTEM.INI file is located in
the WINODWS\SYSTEM directory. Use MS DOS editor to open
the file, and change the statement that is under [Boot
description]

section:
display.drv= VGA then save changes, and restart Windows.
Or, Under

25

DOS prompt, type within Windows “SETUP” , change the
display selection to VGA then exit and restart Windows.

Windows 95™

Inadvertently, certain configuration files (e.g., msdos.sys,
command.com) have been changed in the system. Proceed to
correct that, is re-boot the system with a system (Windows’95)
formatted floppy diskette.

There are many reasons to causing the system booting-up with
un-appropriated steps. Base on Microsoft support wizard on
their WEBsite, there are many technical articles to help users
with this subject, such as troubleshooting with VXD errors, virus,
Fatal exceptions, etc., more details cover on each issue are
descriptive and familiar with, and exclusively further to our
support.

Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver.
Explain and Suggestion:

Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing
and may require a channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between
device drivers and TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) programs
will inverted the display, and are particularly effectual at
crashing computer. The most effective way to check for conflicts
is to replace with the original video driver, or delete and re­install the current video driver to the system.

Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) settings, or
troubleshooting the conflicts on hardware source may
necessary. Most PCI video cards designed for Plug-n-Play, that
means video card IRQ’s setup which controls by main board’s
(mother board) circuitry and BIOS. Physically pulling out other
devices from system, and re-start the computer. Confirm and
modify your IRQ addresses with qualified computer technician.

Q: Multiple images or unreadable screen after loading video
driver.

Explain and Suggestion:

There are a variety of reasons why the display might be
distored. One common reason is a monitor mis-match. Some
older multifrequency monitors are unable to switch video modes
without being turned off, then turned on again.

If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have
loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible

26

with the monitor being used. Try re-configuring your application
software to use a compatible video mode. If problem persist in
windows, load the standard generic VGA driver. The generic
VGA driver should function properly with virtually every video
board and VGA (or SVGA) monitor available.

If that is an unsatisfactory solution, you may have to upgrade to
a monitor that support the desired video mode.

Some new monitors are also synchronizing this problem
because built-in DDC (Data-Digital-Channel) feature. Sometime
that DDC automatically setup the display frequency without
loading video driver. Try to turn it off, or change settings of
monitor type in your system.

Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate combination

that always back to default after restart the system.

Explain and Suggestion:

Accordingly, there must be a bug (defected source-code) in
video driver, or in the system. Debug the source-code or fix the
error in video driver, that should be done by the driver
developer. Likewise, upgrade the video driver from the
manufacturer or from the original software developer is
necessary.

8.1 Tips

The following are some recommended steps to take if the Video­107AGP adapter will not boot or operate properly in your system:

1. Ensure that the monitor or TV brightness and contrast
controls are properly adjusted.

2. Check to see if your monitor or TV is properly connected to
the card. Be sure your monitor’s pin definitions match those
of your Video-107AGP card. For TV out, ensure that the
composite signal is connected to a “Video Input” RCA jack
on the TV (or check the S-video connection). Read the TV
owner’s manual to select the proper signal jack for the
display.

3. Turn the system on and confirm that the power supply is
operating properly; i.e., that the fan operates and the system
power light turns on.

27

4. Check to see if the card is firmly seated in its AGP bus
expansion slot. It should not be making contact with any
other cards in the system.

Note: Turn the system off before adjusting the card.

8.2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1 Why do we need 3D graphics capability in our PC?
Answer

3D technology is becoming increasingly important (and
common) not only in games, but also in other applications such
as VRML, which allows 3D scene descriptions in Web
applications. 3D technology is used for image editing, modeling,
and an increasing number of in home and business applications.
In games, as well as other applications, 3D acceleration not only
allows better visual qualities and more realistic scenery
attributes than software alone, but it also allows a higher frame
rate, which translates into a more interactive experience for the
end user.

Q2 What does “Rendering Engine” mean?
Answer

“Rendering Engine” generically applies to the part of the
graphics engine that draws 3D primitives, usually triangles. In
most implementations, the rendering engine is responsible for
interpolation of edges and “filling in” the triangle.

Q3 What does the set-up engine do in a graphics controller?
Answer

A set-up engine allows drivers to pass triangles in the form of
raw vertex information; whereas, most common designs force
triangles to be pre-processed for the rendering engine in terms
of delta values for edges, color, and texture.

Q4 Why does a 3D graphics chip need to have both a rendering
engine and a setup engine?

Answer

Any “3D application”, a game, VRML, or modeling package, can
benefit from 3D rendering. This is especially true of applications
that use texturing extensively, because texturing and texture
filtering are very intensive operations at the pixel level in terms
of CPU operations and demands for memory bandwidth.
Without a set-up engine in a graphics controller, the CPU has to
calculate the delta values for edges, color, and textures; the
drivers need to handle ten (10) times more extensive data. This

28

results in slower 3D pipeline operations between the CPU and
the graphics controller.

Q5 If we use powerful CPUs, such as a Pentium™ 200, can a
standard 2D graphics card achieve 3D performance?

Answer

Yes and no. Software rendering can take advantage of “tricks”
learned by force of necessity through years of trial and error.
With such stratagems, the speed of software rendering for
simple scenes can approach that of low-level hardware 3D
rendering. On the other hand, as scenes become more complex
(or frame sizes become larger), there are conflicts between
using the CPU for high-level game logic, geometry, lighting, and
rendering, all of which increase their demands. No current CPU
or system can perform advanced quality-enhancements (bilinear
filtering and alpha blending) in real time. Even general case
texture mapping with RGB lighting is too much for the current
CPU generation.

Q6 What does “software 3D” mean ?
Answer

Software 3D is generally used to mean using non-specific (2D)
hardware in conjunction with the CPU to render for 3D
applications. Some of these techniques allow usable 3D
applications when high-powered and/or MMX™-equipped CPU’s
are employed along with special-case software optimization
techniques. As stated above, SW 3D can achieve credible
results with today’s (software optimized) applications, but the
rising popularity of good 3D hardware at the consumer price
level is inexorably compelling the public to expect hardware
level scene enhancements and frame rates.

Q7 What is “SGRAM”?
Answer

Synchronous Graphics Random Access memory (SGRAM) is a
new and improved type of memory, custom-designed for
graphics use.

Q8 What is the advantage of SGRAM as compared to ordinary
DRAM?

Answer

SGRAM is now capable of running at much higher speeds than
Fast Page Mode or EDO DRAM. Also, SGRAM is able to
execute a small number of frequently executed operations, such
as buffer clears, specific to graphics applications, independently

29

of the controller.

13. Reducing Warranty Claim

Rejections.

To reduce the potential of incurring damages not covered by
Manufacturers warranties, we strongly recommend the following:

• read your manuals before installing peripherals and/or

before making changes to the machine’s configuration;

• ask your dealer if there are any known problems with the

system requirements or installation procedures for any
add-on products that your are buying;

• buy industry standard products where compatibility issue

are more likely to surface;

• If you are unsure about install a new product, contact

your dealer’s service.

We believe it is important for you to know and understand what your
warranty coverage provides and what it does not.

We also want you to be aware that most hardware warranties only
relate to the functioning of the hardware. In most cases, no assurances
are given by the manufacturer that the hardware item will work in
conjunction with any other hardware item. If a computer product is not
working because it is not compatible with another product, or because
it has not been properly installed and set-up, the manufacturer does
not pay for the service time. To help avoid these inconveniences,
contact a certified consultant can help you determine the possibility of
incompatibility issue before you purchase add-on or accessories.
