that is given in words. The height is stored in the upper ten bits of the BLTSIZE register, 
with  zero  representing  a  height  of  1024  rows.  Thus,  the  largest  blit  possible  with  the 

current  Amiga  blitter  is  1024  by  1024  pixels.  However,  shifting  and  masking  operations 
may  require  an  extra  word  be  fetched  for  each  raster  scan  line,  making  the  maximum 
practical horizontal width 1008 pixels. 

 
NOTE 

To  emphasize  the  above  paragraph:  Blit  width  is  in  words  with  a  zero  representing  64 
words. Blit height is in lines with a zero representing 1024 lines. 
 

The blitter also has facilities, called modules, for accessing images smaller than the entire 
bitplane. Each  of the four  DMA channels has 16  bit  modulo  register  called  BLTxMOD. As 
each  word is  fetched  (or  written) for  an  enabled  channel, the  address  pointer  register  is 

incremented  by  two  (bytes,  or  one  word.)  After  each  row  of  the  blit  is  completed,  the 
signed 16-bit modulo value for that DMA channel is added to the address pointer. (A row 
is defined by the width stored in BLTSIZE.) 

 
NOTE 

The modulo values are in bytes, not words. Since the blitter can only operate on words, 
the  least  significant  bit  is  ignored.  The  value  is  sign-extended  to  the  full  width  of  the 
address  pointer  registers.  Negative  modules  can  be  useful in  a  variety  of  ways,  such  as 

repeating a row by setting the modulo to the negative of the width of the bitplane. 
 
As an example, suppose we want to operate on a section of a full 320 by 200 pixel bitmap 

that started at row 13, byte 12 (where both are numbered from zero) and the section is 
10 bytes wide. We would initialize the pointer register to the address of the bitplane plus 
40  bytes  per  row times  13  rows, plus 12  bytes  to  get to  the  correct  horizontal  position. 

We would set the width to 5 words (10 bytes). At the end of each row, we would want to 
skip  over  30  bytes  to  get  to  the  beginning  of  the  next  row,  so  we  would  use  a  modulo 
value of 30. In general, the width (in words) times two plus the modulo value (in bytes) 

should equal the full width, in bytes, of the bitplane containing the image.
