times the single pixel rate. On the VCD-V and VCU-V, up to sixteen 8-bit
pixels can written in each 100 ns page mode cycle, resulting in a 160
Mpixel/sec VFILL time. The VCT-V, which has 32-bit pixels, has a 40
Mpixel/sec VFILL time.
34020 Processor Memory (DRAM and PROM)
The 34020 has its own "system" memory, which is independent of the
video memory. However, it does share a common address space with the
display memory and can thus be used for program store or off-screen
display data. The standard size is 1 MB of 0 wait state DRAM, and is
expandable to 32 MB.
There are four 32-pin PLCC sockets which support up to 2 MB (using
29F020 devices) of 0 wait state Flash PROM. Jumpers can be installed
which cause the 34020 to automatically start executing from PROM on
power-up. An additional 512 byte serial EEPROM can be installed which
can be used by an PROM-based program to store information necessary at
power-up (such as initialization data). PROM sets can be ordered from
Peritek which include a simple console terminal emulator combined with
the graphics subroutine package or X11R6 X Windows server.
Display Features
All boards support binary vertical zoom (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32), horizontal
zoom (except some VCD-Vs), multi-pixel horizontal pan and vertical
smooth scroll.
For the VCD-V and VCU-V, the display memory data is directed to the
analog monitor via a Brooktree RAMDAC color map control chip which
provides a programmable 24 bit wide color map (8 bits each red, green,
and blue). The 8-bit pixel is used as an index into the lookup table, giving
256 colors out of a palette of 16.7 Million. A two bit cursor with a 64 x 64
x 2 bit map function is also included on chip.
For the VCT-V, the display memory data is directed to the analog monitor
via a Brooktree BT463 color map control chip which provides a
programmable 24 bit wide color map (8 bits each red, green, and blue).
The 24-bit pixel is used as an index into the lookup table, giving a full
16.7 Million colors. A two bit cursor with a 64 x 64 x 2 bit map function is
also included, but incorporated in separate BT431 cursor chips.
For all boards, additional color map entries are provided for the overlay
screen and cursors. Any plane can be blanked or blinked. The analog Red,
