AI-69PCI SVGA Graphics Adapter With Video Overlay

The AI-69PCI is a portable graphics accelerator product integrating high performance memory technology for the graphics frame buffer. Providing integrated high performance synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) memory technology, the AI-69PCI incorporates 2MB of proprietary integrated SDRAM for the graphics/video frame buffer. The integrated SDRAM memory can support up to 83 MHz operation, thus increasing the available memory bandwidth for the graphics subsystem. This results in support for additional high-color, high-resolution graphics modes combined with real-time video acceleration. This additional bandwidth also allows more flexibility in the other graphics functions intensely used in Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) such as Microsoft Windows. The AI-69PCI supports high performance graphics and video acceleration for all supported display resolutions, display types, and color modes. There is no compromise in performance operating in 8, 16, or 24 bpp color modes, allowing true acceleration while displaying up to 16.7 million colors.

PCI Bridge & Bus Mastering:
The AI-69PCI interfaces directly to industry-standard PCI buses. On the PCI bus, the device acts as a master or slave, optimizing not only video and GUI performance, but also increasing system efficiency. In master mode, the PCI bridge allows bi-directional DMA transfers for simple I/O mapped components, such as MPEG decoders, without requiring additional CPU resources. This allows a complete multimedia sub-system to be integrated into a single PCI bus slot.

FEATURES:
Four hardware video windows (two color-key and two imaging mask) may be displayed simultaneously.
2 megabyte RAM frame buffer integrated in the chip uses less system memory for video, while providing excellent playback display quality.
The capture engine supports image mirroring and rotation for camera support. This allows movements to appear on the display as they actually occur.
Capture & display systems support both interlaced and non-interlaced data.
Employs advanced power management, thereby reducing power consumption of the display sub-system, and extending battery life.
Optional ‘daughter cards' available for: expansion to four inputs television tuner
CCIR-601 level compatible
Provides excellent GUI acceleration, featuring a full 64-bit drawing engine, three independent bitmaps and ternary ROPs, stretchBlt, line draw, short stroke vector, area fill, and accelerated text output.
Automated detection of 50/60hz field frequency, automatic switching between standards PAL and NTSC, SECAM

SPECIFICATIONS:
The AI-69PCI supports high performance graphics and video acceleration for all supported display resolutions, display types, and color modes. The video capture system can receive data from either the system bus or from the video overlay port in either RGB or YUV format. The input data can also be scaled down before storage in display memory. Capture of input data may also be double-buffered for smoothing, and to prevent image tearing. The AI-69PCI interfaces directly to industry-standard PCI buses.
