1. Introduction
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV brings to the PC unparalleled price/performance 3D graphics. With rCADE3DTM acceleration for pipelined single cycle graphics engines, 3D games can now take advantage of Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) 2x with sideband addressing for upto 533Mbyte per second. By adding Trident's TVXpress video encoder, THAMATM brings no compromise DVD playback to the desktop. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV integrates the advanced rCADE3DTM 3D/2D Accelerator with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip solution. The rCADE3DTM combines advanced per pixel 3D setup and rendering with 2D graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration. For high speed low latency access, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV can fetch textures stored in up to 8Mbytes of local memory. Taking advantage of AGP's Direct Memory Execution (DME) to fetch textures from main memory, textures are no longer limited by local memory. For maximum throughput, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV uses full AGP 2x with sideband addressing. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports PCI Version 2.1 with bus mastering. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV's Trident Hardware Assisted MPEG-2 Architecture (THAMATM) brings DVD playback 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. With integrated circuitry supporting the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), the Video 107AGP 3D & TV is a highly integrated display control device that incorporates a 64-bit 3D/2D graphic engine and video accelerator with advanced DVD video capability. It provides a flexible and high performance solution for graphics and video playback acceleration for various color depth and resolution modes. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports a video capture port to import captured live MPEG or MPEG2 video streams, or DVD decompressed video streams to be overlaid with a graphics stream of mixed color depth displays. In supporting dual live videos, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV offers independent dual video windows ready for Videoconferencing and with linear scaling capability.

2.8 Overview
The Video 107AGP 3D & TV is a SGRAM/SDRAM based, fully integrated CRT and TV 64-bit 2D/3D Accelerator for AGP and PCI systems. It is a high performance chip, offering high speed 3D image processing in full compliance and compatibility with IBM® VGA and VESATM extended VGA; 32bit PCI 2.1 local bus interface with Bus Mastering capability; and with the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) 1.0 interface. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV, equipped with a single-cycle 3D GUI Engine, pipelines 3D rendering process architecture in hardware, providing real-time interactions with solid 3D models in CAD/CAM, 3D modeling, and 3D games. It supports all key 3D rendering operations, including: Gouraud shading for smooth object surfaces, texture mapping for realistic object textures, 16-bit hardware Z-buffering for fast 3D depth calculations, and Alpha Blending for transparency effects. Video 107AGP 3D & TV `s highly innovative design, a full 64bit memory interface with the high performance graphics engine which can support the RAMDACTM running up to 230MHz, dramatically improves GUI functions and significantly promotes overall system operation. The Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports the AGP implementation including 2x operation with sideband addressing, in addition to the PCI 2.1 specification of 66MHz

operation. The AGP operations can include direct access of the system memory by the 2D/3D engine to provide increased texture memory. To meet the requirements of a PC98 graphics adapter in a multimedia PC, the Video 107AGP 3D & TV supports planar video format for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and DVD-video playback. The dual video playback is capable of overlaying windows for videoconferencing and multimedia displays. Advanced features of the Video 107AGP 3D & TV, such as color space conversion, TrueVideo® scaling, dual video windows, dualview display, Video Module Interface (VMI), Vertical Blanking Interleave (VBI), a 24-bit True Color DAC, and triple clock synthesizers allowing performance at peak levels.
