2.7 High Performance 64-bit 2D GUI
The 64-bit graphics engine of the Video-107PCI -3D significantly improves graphics performance through specialized hardware that accelerates the most frequently used GUI operations and matches the high-speed requirements of CPUs. Functions directly supported in hardware include: BitBLTs, image and text transfer, line draw, short stroke vector draw, rectangle fills, and clipping. The graphics engine supports 256 Raster Operations (ROPs) for up to 32-bit packed pixel graphic modes. The ROP3 Processor in the Video-107PCI -3D is able to perform Boolean functions which allow many additional operations, including transparency, pattern masking, color expansion alignment, and pattern enhancement. Additionally, the graphics engine features linear display memory addressing, accelerated color expansion modes for graphics text procession, and memory-mapped I/O registers on the graphics engine for faster access time.
