Acer 521 Laptop User Manual


 
18 Chapter 1
Item (NB Cont.) Specification
Features New multi-level texture cache to give optimal performance,
greater than 8x the previous designs.
High efficiency ring bus memory controller:
Programmable arbitration logic maximizes memory efficiency,
software upgradeable.
Fully associative texture, color, and Z cache design.
New hierarchical Z and stencil buffers with early Z Test.
New lossless Z-buffer compression for both Z and stencil.
Fast Z-Buffer Clear.
Z cache optimized for real-time shadow rendering.
Z and color compression resources virtualized to a 32-bit
addressing space, for support of multiple render targets and
textures simultaneously.
Motion Video Acceleration Features
Video scaling and fully programmable YCrCb to RGB color
space conversion for full-speed video playback and fully
adjustable color controls.
Adaptive de-interlacing eliminates video artifacts caused by
displaying interlaced video on non-interlaced displays, and by
analyzing image and using optimal de-interlacing function on a
per-pixel basis.
H.264 implementation is based on the ISO/IEC 14496-10 spec.
VC-1 implementation is based on the SMPTE 421M spec.
For the RS880MC: MPEG-2 decode acceleration for SD
contents:
Hardware motion compensation.
Hardware Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform.
Multiple Display Features
General
Resolution, refresh rates, and display data can be completely
independent for the two display paths.
¡E Each display controller supports true 30 bits per pixel
throughout the display pipe.
¡E Each display path supports VGA and accelerated modes,
video overlay, hardware cursor, hardware icon, and palette
gamma correction.
Supports both interlaced and non-interlaced displays.
Full ratiometric expansion ability is supported for source desktop
modes up to 1920 pixels/line.
Maximum DAC frequency of 400 MHz.
Supports 8, 16, 32, and 64-bpp depths for the main graphics
layer:
For 32-bpp depth, supports xRGB 8:8:8:8, xRGB 2:10:10:10,
sCrYCb 8:8:8:8, and xCrYCb 2:10:10:10 data formats.
For 64-bpp depth, supports xRGB 16:16:16:16 data format.
Independent gamma, color conversion and correction controls
for main graphics layer.
Support for DDC1 and DDC2B+ for plug and play monitors.
8-bit alpha blending of graphics and video overlay.
