Introduction 3DForce G-16, 3DForce G-32, 3DForce G-16/TV, and 3DForce G-32/TV are based on Trident Blade T-16/T-64TM (9970) Graphics Processor with AGP-4x and DVD playback. With 64-bit memory bus at 143 MHz clock on AGP 2x/4x bus aggregation, the performance of these multimedia accelerators are beneficial to brings the DVD playback in real-time and the high density video formal expression at high pixel rate up to 286 million per second, and that is biggest unparalleled cost/performance graphics solution for today's desktop application. 3DForce XP, based on Trident Blade XPTM (9980) Graphics Processor with AGP-4x and DVD playback. With 128-bit memory bus at 166 MHz clock. The most payoff on Trident Blade T-16/T-64TM (9970) and Trident Blade XPTM (9980) are that integrate the advanced 2D/3D Graphics engine, which capable of supporting with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip solution. The overlying combines highly evolved per pixel 3D graphics engine setup and rendering with 2D graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration can blend the high speed low latency access on 256-bit totally. Taking expediency of AGP's Direct Memory Access (DMA) to retrieve textures from main memory, textures are no longer limited by local memory. Trident Hardware Assisted MPEG-2 Architecture (THAMATM) enables DVD playback support to the multimedia PC. Compared to software only DVD players, the combination of software based decode and hardware based motion compensation delivers smooth frame rates without overloading the processor, requires no extra frame buffer and minimum AGP bandwidth. The TVout choice supports an 8-bit Digital output to standard NTSC/PAL encoder and its interface. In TVout optional livelihood, the 3DForce G-16/TV or 3DForce G-32/TV also offers independent control interface ready for TV set output and with interlace/non-interlace scanning capability. For maximum throughput, the 3DForce G-16/G-32/XP use full AGP 2x/4x bus interface that supports at up to 1.06 GByte per second transfer rate. Furthermore, 3DForce G-16/G-32/XP are subsistence Microsoft graphics standard - DirectX 7.0 Cubic mapping, and PC2001 compliant. Jaton Corporation, USA. 5 2.
