output). This is important for the 69000 since the video must be stored in the
integrated 2MB frame buffer and thus optimized to require very little space.
Storing data in the native YUV format uses less memory for video while providing
excellent playback display quality.
Non-rectangular windows are supported via color keying. The data can be
fractionally zoomed on output up to 8x to fit the on-screen window and can be
horizontally and vertically interpolated. Interlaced and non-interlaced data are
both supported in the capture and display systems.
Low Power Consumption
The 69000 uses a variety of advanced power management features to
reduce power consumption of the display sub-system and to extend battery life.
Optimized for 3.3V operation, the 69000 internal logic, bus and panel interfaces
operate at 3.3V but can tolerate 5V operation.
Software Compatibility / Flexibility
The HiQVideo controllers are fully compatible with the VGA standard at
both the register and BIOS levels.
CHIPS and third party vendors supply a fully VGA compatible BIOS, end-user
utilities and drivers for common application programs.
Acceleration for All Panels and All Modes
The 69000 graphics engine is designed to support 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
24bpp color modes allowing true acceleration while displaying up to 16.7M colors.
