CHAPTER 3 VIDEO

VIDEO ACCELERATION FUNCTIONS

Normally to display video in a window without hardware video
acceleration, the video information must go through the CPU for
decompression, then the CPU must scale the image, do the necessary color
conversions, and manage putting the information on to the screen by
sending the video overlay information to the graphics display. On-screen
information, i.e. areas covered by the video overlay, must be stored in a
separate memory area either in off-screen video memory or in main system
memory, which causes delays when restoring the original image to the
screen. The illustration below graphically depicts the amount of work that
must be done by the CPU.

Overlay Graphics

In contrast, the TGUI9680 video overlay functions, when called by the
proper driver such as Jaton’s DCI driver in Windows 3.1, allow the video
image to be mixed with on-screen graphics data without trading the
graphics data out of its original area in display memory. These functions
also perform color conversion and scaling without the intervention of the
CPU, as depicted below.

The end result is that not only is video playback more watchable, but also
the CPU is free for other tasks.

VIDEO OVERLAY

The TGUI9680 overlay function allows a video image to be placed on
screen simultaneously with graphics data without removing the graphics
data from memory. This results in seamless transitions from graphics to
video so that when the video functions obscure graphics data, the graphics
data is still in its original location, meaning that restoring the graphics data
is instantaneous

COLOR SPACE CONVERSION

Color Space Conversion means that the YUV input to the TGUI9680 is
automatically converted to true color for display in the video window
without the intervention of the CPU.

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SCALING

Scaling is essentially the process of taking video data and fitting it to the
desired on-screen area. This allows relatively compact data which is easily
transported and stored to be displayed full-screen with high picture quality.
By doing scaling independently of the CPU, the larger picture comes free
of any penalties on applications performance. The TGUI9680 offers any
size of vertical and horizontal scaling from miniature live display icons to
full-screen display. The TGUI9680 scaling algorithm minimizes the loss
of image quality in full-screen zoom out.

CD FORMATS

There are many “standards” of compact discs. The following table list
some of those CD formats related to digital video.

CD-ROM “original” CD-ROM format, as defined by ISO 9660 and

the Yellow Book

CD-i

Video CD MPEG-1 for digital video also known as White Book

Compact Disc Interactive or Green Book. Proprietary
format from Philip for use in their CD-i players

SOFTWARE CODEC

Video information contained in a CD often compressed using MPEG,
Motion JPEG, or other CODEC (Compression Decompression).
You may use special CODEC hardware or use CPU and Software CODEC
such as MPEG, Motion JPEG, Indeo, CinePak, MS Video, QuickTime to
playback the compressed digital video.

VIDEO PLAYBACK SOFTWARE

Most CD-ROM title comes with a run time version of the digital video
playback software such as MS Video for Windows, QuickTime for
Windows and etc. To playback Video CD and CD-i, a MPEG software
decoder is needed.

MS VIDEO FOR WINDOWS

Microsoft Video playback on the VIDEO-57P can be achieved with MS
Video for Windows 1.1e Runtime or later. The display quality and
playback performance can be enhanced by installing the Display Control
Interface (DCI) driver since this driver utilizes the Accelerated Video
Engine of the TGUI9680 chip. This runtime version is not needed for
Windows 95.

Windows DCI driver must be installed and activated before installing
Microsoft’s Video for Windows 1.1e Runtime to Windows 3.1x. Refer to
the section for Windows 3.1x display driver installation for details.

The following procedure assumes the use of a mouse, Hard Disk Drive C:
and CD-ROM Drive X:.

diskette is installed, the following procedure verifies if Jaton’s DCI driver
is installed correctly.

 1. OPEN your SYSTEM.INI file under C:\WINDOWS with any

text editor.

 2. LOOK under the section [ drivers ].
 3. LOOK behind the line of “DCI=“.
 4. If Jatont’s DCI driver is installed properly, the word

“TDCI” should appear behind “DCI=”.

MPEG PLAYER

The VIDEO-57P is bundled with MPEG Player Software. The MPEG
Player can play Karaoke CD, Video CD (MPEG-1, CD-i), and other
MPEG files.

The MPEG software decoders are designed to work on fast 486 or Pentium
CPU and require video acceleration chips like the TGUI9680 to function
properly. The new Windows DCI (Display Control Interface) driver is
required to run MPEG Player properly under Windows 3.1x. For Windows
95, DirectDraw driver is needed. When all three technologies work
together and depending on the speed of the CPU, up to 30 frames per
second full-motion video can be experienced. MPEG software decoders in
conjunction with the Video-57P are much more cost-effective than
currently available MPEG hardware boards.

GETTING STARTED

Before installing the MPEG Player, make sure the following hardware and
software is installed and working:

 VIDEO-57P Graphics and Video Accelerator Board

 VIDEO-57P Software and Documentation CD-ROM

 IBM PC 486/Pentium or compatible computer with 8MB RAM

VIDEO PLAYBACK TROUBLESHOOTING

UNREADABLE MPEG FILES

The MPEG Player can play any MPEG file that conforms to the MPEG-1
standard. Some MPEG files do not conform to this standard; e.g., they may
have undergone data encryption that renders them readable only by the
application that performed the encryption; or they may contain non­standard data. If you attempt to play such an MPEG file with the MPEG
Player, an error message appears indicating that the file is unreadable.

Since most CD-ROM titles contain MS Video have the MS Video for
Windows run time version, it may cause problem if the version of the MS

Usage: SMONITOR <GROUP|OPTION>

Set Monitor Group

The graphics extended modes set by the graphics card's BIOS are sorted into
six groups categorized by the monitor's refresh rate. The group settings are
listed below:

Group

Resolution 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

640X400 70 70 70 70 70 70 70 70

640x480 60 72 75 85 85 85 85 85

800x600 XX 60 72 75 85 85 85 85

1024x768 XX 87i 60 70 75 85 90 95

1280x1024 XX XX 87i 87i 60 60 75 75

1600x1200 XX XX XX XX 96i 96i 96i 96i

OPTIONS:

C SET COLOR MONITOR

M SET MONOCHROME MONITOR

The default group number is 0. If you want to set the monitor group, TYPE
“SMONITOR GROUP”, where GROUP is one of the group numbers listed
above.

Set Monitor Color

Switches between color and monochrome display. Some monitors (most
notably Samsung monitors manufactured before 2/8/91) do not adhere to the
standard IBM pinout definitions, which causes the VGA card to boot up in
monochrome instead of color. This utility may be used to correct the problem.
To set the monitor as color, TYPE “SMONITOR C”; or,
TYPE “SMONITOR M” to set monochrome monitor.

 6. A menu will appear, presenting a choice of Express or

Custom Installation.

4-16

Chapter 4 Software

Express installation is quick and decision free. Display drivers will be copied
into the JATON.XGI directory and Utility files will be copied into the
JATON.UTL directory. Once all files are copied, a program group called
DISPLAY DRIVER AND UTILITIES will be created.
Custom installation allows control over file storage and in what program group
the icons are placed. The first dialog box that appears shows the default
directory to which the display drivers will be copied. To change the directory
name select the default name, delete it and then enter the desired directory
name. Once the desired directory name is selected, continue the installation
procedure by selecting CONTINUE, or by pressing ENTER. The next dialog
box displays a summary of where files are stored. Select CONTINUE to copy
the drivers and utilities files. When all files are copied, the program will
present a choice of program groups where the icons will be created. Create a
new group to place the utility icons or select from pre-existing groups (e.g.
main, applications, accessories etc.).
When all necessary files are copied and a group name is selected, the
INSTALL program will create three icons:

 a. Screen Control (Used to configure display drivers).
 b. DPMS (Used for power management configurations).
 c. UNinstall (Used to delete the installed Video-57P display drivers).

NOTE: Different “display driver set” versions
cannot be installed to the same
directory name.

“Display driver sets” of the same version number ( e.g. UX6.x ) will replace
the existing one.

SCREEN CONTROL

The Screen Control panel contains controls for setting screen resolution, color
depth, font size, refresh rates. Not all combinations of screen resolution, color
depth, font size and refresh rate are attainable.
Color depths of 16, 256, 64K, or 16.7M colors can be selected by clicking
next to the desired option. Color depth determines the number of colors that
may be simultaneously displayed on the screen. The selected color depth
determines the possible resolutions.
Screen resolutions of 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 or
1600x1200 can be selected by clicking next to the available options. The
virtual screen size is automatically adjusted to be at least as large as the
selected screen resolution.
Available refresh rates are dependent on the selected color depth and
resolution. The “Back to Default” option is used to reset the refresh rate to the
factory default value in case your monitor does not support a high refresh rate.

ADVANCED FEATURES (VIRTUAL SCREEN CONTROL)

The advanced features of the program is accessed by pressing ALT + D or by
clicking on the box marked Advanced.
This action opens up an extension of the Main Panel that presents the
following features:

 1. Hot Key selection. Enabling this function allows setting up

predefined key strokes achieve specific virtual screen related actions.

 2. Turn On virtual screen. This function allows the use of the

predefined virtual screen sizes. The predefined virtual screen sizes
are selected by clicking next to available options. The size of the
available predefined virtual screen is dependent on the selected
color depth and resolution.

 3. Customize Virtual screen area. Selecting this feature opens

up a new screen titled Virtual Screen Advanced Settings.
The features presented through this screen are as follows:

Standard display resolutions are 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 or 1280x1024.
The amount of display memory used depends on the selected resolution and
color depth. For resolutions of 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768, there is a
substantial amount of display memory left unused. The Virtual Screen

4-19

Chapter 4 Software

features takes advantage of this unused memory by “expanding” the display
area into the off-screen area.
Virtual Screen Control allows the user to make effective use of a display
screen larger than the standard 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768, and the
standard resolution is the center of the screen. The user can “pan” around the
larger Virtual Screen area by the use of a standard mouse or a set of “HOT
KEYS.” For example, it is possible to select a resolution of 640x480 and set
the Virtual Screen size to 800x600. Thus, the 640x480 screen sits at the center
of a 800x600 matrix, and the user can “pan” through the entire 800x600
matrix in a 640x480 window (see Figure 4).

Panning allows traversing a larger screen through a smaller window.

The Freeze Screen option is used to disable the panning feature, giving the
illusion of a frozen screen but keeping other virtual screen functions available.
Hot key functions are available for this feature.

LINEAR FRAME BUFFER ADDRESS

The Linear Addressing driver will automatically detect the system’s memory
size and sets the frame buffer to an unused area above the system memory (VL
bus card only, not applicable here). The Linear Frame Buffer Address setting
is useful in avoiding conflicts with Windows applications which use the same
linear frame buffer address as the Display Driver. Addresses between 18 and
63 MB can be selected. If there is no conflict, the default setting is highly
recommended.

BORDER SPACE

The Border Space option is used to set up a border (thickness measured in
pixels) within the Displayable Area, which is used as a marker for panning the

CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING

The following are some recommended steps to take if the display do not
operate or not function properly in your system:

1. Check to see if the card is firmly seated in its PCI Bus expansion
slot. (Note: Turn the system power off before adjusting the card.)

2. Be sure your monitor is properly connected to the card. Be sure
your monitor’s pin definition matches the 15-pin VGA connector.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MONITORS

Q. Why does the display shift or change sizes when I switch

modes?

A. Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or do not synchronize

properly to the display board output. In some cases, refresh rate
adjustments may be necessary. Your monitor also has controls to
adjust the screen to your preference.

Q. What kind of monitor do I need to display 800x600 or

1024x768 resolution?

A. To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh, your monitor must

be capable of a 35.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 2A, 3D).
At 72Hz refresh, your monitor must be capable of a 48.0KHz scan
rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

To display 1024x768 interlaced, your monitor must be capable of

a 35.5 KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or

1440). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced (60Hz), your monitor
must be capable of a 48.7KHz scan rate (e.g., SonyHG 1304,
NEC4D, 5D, Seiko 1450). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced
(70Hz), your monitor must be capable of a 56.4KHz scan rate
(e.g. NEC 4FG).

Q. What kind of monitor do I need to display 1280x1024

resolution?

A. A 17-inch or larger size monitor is recommended to display 1280x

1024 (e.g. NEC 4FG). The monitor must also be capable of a 47.5
KHz scan rate.

5-1

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

SYSTEMS

Q. Can I have two graphics boards in my system at the same

time?

A. A MGA card may co-reside with a the VGA adapter. You cannot

have an EGA, CGA, or another VGA card co-resident.

Q. I see “mouse droppings” on the screen when I move my

mouse a around. Is this a problem with my mouse?

A. It could be the version of your mouse driver may not support

VGA. Another possibility is that the DRAM on your card is not
seated correctly or is not the right speed. If you have added your
own DRAM chips to the card, call technical support to verify they
are the correct ones.

SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS

Q. My display is not correct when I run VPIC or RIX.

What's wrong?

A. The first thing to check is the software version. VPIC should be

version 4.6 or later. RIX must be version 1.38 or later. If you are
using an earlier version of VPIC, please contact your software
vendors for upgrade information.

Q. My display is not correct when I run the Print Preview

function for WordPerfect 5.1, File Import/Export
function of Applause 1.5, or IBM 3270 Emulation version

2. What's wrong?

A. Try using the utility program called TPATCH. TPATCH provides

several patch files to correct screen display problems. You can use
TPATCH to correct the display problems in WordPerfect 5.1,
Applause 1.5, IBM 3270 Emulation, and others. Please refer to
the Software Owner's Manual for details.

TROUBLESHOOTING MS-WINDOWS 3.1X

This section provides troubleshooting tips for users having problems
installing or using the high resolution drivers provided for Windows 3.1.
Be sure you have installed the TMONITOR and SVM utilities on your
hard drive before you continue with the troubleshooting procedures.

NOTE: "Delete driver files" means to delete all previous drivers prior to

installing the new ones; i.e., “VDDTVGA.386”, “OEM*.INF” files,

5-2

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

all the “MT*.DRV”, “T*.DRV” and “W*.DRV” files in the
C:\WINDOW S\ and C:\W INDOWS\SYSTEM directories.
Please refer to the README.TXT file in the W IN directory for a
complete list of these file names.

Problem: Windows screen won’t come up. It kicks back to the

DOS prompt.

Solution A: Ensure the driver version is the correct one for the chipset on

your card. Ensure the resolution chosen is a match for the
amount of memory on-board. Refer to (open) the
README.TXT file in the WIN subdirectory of your
Driver/Utility Disk for details on memory requirements.

Solution B: Try adding the statement “EMMEXCLUDE=AOOO-C7FF”

to the [386 enhanced] section of the Windows SYSTEM.INI
file. The SYSTEM.INI file is located in the
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

Solution C: If using QEMM, try adding the following QEMM exclude

statement “DEVICE= QEMM386.SYS X=AOOO-C7FF” to
your CONFIG.SYS file.

Solution D: Check the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files and

minimize TSRs (Terminate and Stay Resident Programs) and
Device Drivers such as the following:

DEVICE=TVGABIO.SYS in CONFIG.SYS, or

PCSHELL.EXE in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Solution E: Delete and reinstall the driver(s). See NOTE above.

Problem: Windows hangs up during or after installing a driver.

Solution A: Reread installation procedures to be sure you have installed

the drivers correctly.

Solution B: Did Windows display an error message before hang-up?
If no: Check CONFIG.SYS and AUTOE.XEC.BAT files and

minimize TSRs (Terminate and Stay Resident Programs) or
Device Drivers, such as, DEVICE=MOUSE.SYS in
CONFIG.SYS or PCTOOLS.EXE in AUTOE.XEC.BAT.
You can also type WIN /? for a list of options that may help
you find the problem.

If SYSTEM .INI ( located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM

directory) has been edited, try replacing with a clean version
from the original Windows diskettes. (Note: If this is done,
any other changes you may have made to SYSTEM.INI will
be lost)

Delete and reinstall the driver(s). See NOTE on previous

page.

5-3

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

If yes: If Windows reports “... file corrupted”, be sure you have

used the Window system program to install the drivers.
Copying the drivers to your Windows directory without
using the Windows SETUP will result in a file corruption
error. (the files must be expanded as well as copied). If you
use the correct setup program and still have problems, delete
the driver files from your Windows directory and use a new
set of drivers.

If installing on a network via “SETUP/N”, you will need to

use the “EXPAND” utility (located on original Windows
diskettes) to expand the display drivers.

Problem: Garbage on the screen or double images.

Solution A: Use View Option (FS) in the SVM program to verify the

problem. See the Software section for more information on
the SVM program.

Solution B: If the problem persists, the board may be defective. Contact

your dealer for further support.

Problem: Windows color palette does not look right or colors

changing.

Solution: Most likely a defective RAMDAC, memory chip, clock chip,

or crystal. Contact your dealer to have the problem taken
care of.

Problem: Can’t display certain modes.

Solution A: Run the SVM program (See the Software section for more

information on the SVM program). If the SVM program
fails, go to Solutions B, C, and D.

Solution B: Check to see that there is enough memory on the VIDEO-

57P board to run this mode. For example, to run display
mode 79H (1024x768-64K colors, refer to the tables in
Appendix C), 2 MB of display memory is required.

Solution C: Run the TMONITOR program to adjust video parameters

(See the Software User's Guide for more information on the
TMONITOR program).

Solution D: If Solutions A, B, or C do not resolve this problem, it may

be hardware related. Check the specifications of the
monitor.

Problem: Windows screen size is too tall or too narrow.

Solution A: Run SVM to verify the problem.
Solution B: Use TMONITOR to adjust screen size.
Solution C: Some monitors have limited bandwidth and the Windows

screen size problem may not be corrected completely.

5-4

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Problem: Icons and characters are too small in 1024x768 and

1280x1024 modes.

Solution: It is normal for icons and characters to become smaller in

higher resolutions. Verify you have the Large Fonts installed
for larger characters. A 19-inch or larger monitor is
recommended for these higher modes.

Problem: Mouse doesn’t function properly.

Solution A: Check mouse connection and re-boot the system.
Solution B: Contact mouse vendor for latest version of the mouse driver.

Problem: When changing resolutions by running SETUP, the

SETUP menu displays more than one selection for
the same resolution mode.

Solution: When upgrading to a new set of Windows drivers, you need

to delete the old OEM?.INF (e.g. OEMO.INF) file in the
WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. The SETUP menu will
then display only one selection for each resolution mode.

Problem: When installing a high resolution display Driver for

foreign language Windows 3.1 (i.e. German or
French version of Windows 3.1), the SETUP
program prompts to insert an incorrect Microsoft
Windows 3.1 diskette.

Solution: Since Microsoft uses a different diskette arrangement for

their foreign language Windows 3.1 fonts, the
OEMSETUP.INF in the Driver/Utility Disk will prompt for
a diskette number that is not correct for the foreign language
Windows 3.1.

MEMORY UPGRADE

Adding more memory may further enhanced the graphics performance and
functionality. There are many types of RAM in the market. They may
different in IC package type, data path, and other electronic characteristics.

Usually the smaller RAM chips are packaged in DIP and larger 4MegaBits
(256KBit x 16) RAM chips in SOJ. We provide mainly these three types of
sockets on board for memory upgrade purpose.

32-bit memory is mostly utilized in VESA or PCI Local Bus design. From
above table, you will find there are three ways to form 1MegaByte 32-bit
memory bank: 8 pieces of 256x4, 4 of 256x8, or 2 of 256x16.

The memory chips we used for upgrade are often regular 5-volt Fast Page
Mode or EDO DRAM. The 256x16 SOJ FPM DRAM can be generally
categorized in three refresh types: Dual CAS, Symmetric Dual Write, and
Asymmetric Dual Write. They are often also called 260, 270, and 170
because most memory chip manufactures use these three digits in their chip
model number. The table below listed some models of 256x16 SOJ
memory from different chip vendors.

The same refresh type of memory should be used on graphics board. If the
first bank of memory on board is 270, then the second bank should use

270. If the first bank is 170, the you must use 170 in second bank. If the
first bank is 260, then second bank could be 260 or EDO. If the first bank
is EDO, then EDO must be used in the second bank.

Memory speed is usually determined by its access time. 70ns memory are
usually used on our board. The same or faster speed (60ns or less) of
RAM should be used for additional banks of memory.

To upgrade VIDEO-57P from one(1) to two(2) MegaBytes of display
memory, you need two pieces of either 256x16 SOJ EDO or 260 memory
depending on the type of memory used in first bank. The memory bus will
automatically switch from 32-bit to 64-bit once you have two mega bytes
of memory installed.

The above is a just general guideline on upgrading graphics board we
make. Please verify the type of DRAM installed on board, then contact
your vendor for purchasing the appropriate memory.

APPENDIX C Display Modes

APPENDIX C - DISPLAY MODES

The adapter supports a variety of video modes (standard VGA and higher
resolution) which are accessible through a video BIOS call from assembly
language or other higher-level programming languages.
When you start-up in DOS, the screen display defaults to the standard 80­column text or alpha-numeric mode. This is mode 3 on a color system, or
mode 7 on a monochrome VGA.

GRAPHIC MODE SUPPORT

Your monitor must be capable of displaying the graphic/text mode you
choose. The following tables list all available display modes and related
information for the adapter.
Note that the total number of possible colors to choose from is 16,777,216
in all modes except for monochrome modes (designated with the letter
‘M’), where the color palette is two (black and the monitor phosphor
color). For example, in mode 62 (1024x768-256 colors), the total colors
available for display on the monitor at one time is 256 different colors from
a total of 16,777,216. In mode 6C (640x480-16M colors), the total number
of colors available for display on the monitor at one time is 16,777,216;
i.e., 24 bit true color.
