5.5 Vivid BIOS technology
Have you been fed up with the conservative and
immutable POST screen? Let’s rule out the tradition idea that POST screen are
stiff and frigid, and let AOpen show you the newly developed VividBIOS to
experience the lively vivid colorful POST screen!
Unlike earlier graphic POST screen which could occupy the whole screen and
mask text information during POST, AOpen VividBIOS deals with graphics and
texts separately, and makes them running simultaneously during POST. With this
innovative design, VividBIOS now brings you a beautiful and sleek 256 colors
screen without missing any important information shown on POST screen.
In addition, the limited space of BIOS ROM is another big issue. When all of the
traditional BIOS can only show space-consuming and uncompressed Bitmap,
AOpen has considerately tuned the BIOS to next generation, to recognize the
smaller-sized GIF format and even dynamic-showing GIF animation.
Vivid BIOS shares the same fundamental technology with Open JukeBox CD
Player, you may use the same EzSkin utility to change your VividBIOS screen or to
download your favorite Open JukeBox skin. If you see this little logo shown beside
your model name on the motherboard download page,
http://english.aopen.com.tw/tech/ezskin/vivid.htm , it is assured
that your motherboard supports this innovative feature!
