Table 6-60 represents the same logic that is displayed in Figure 6-28 on page 396.
6.7.5.2 Gamma RAM
Either the graphics or video stream can be routed through
an integrated palette RAM for gamma-correction of the
data stream or (for video data) contrast/brightness adjust-
ments.
A bypass path is provided for either the graphics or video
stream (depending on which is sent through the gamma
RAM).
6.7.5.3 Video Processor Module Display
Interface
The Video Processor module connects directly to either the
internal CRT DACs, or provides a standard digital TFT
interface.
6.7.5.4 Video Interface
The VP uses a two-wire protocol to control the sequence of
data on the video port. This protocol consists of VID_VAL
and VID_RDY. VID_VAL indicates the DC has placed valid
data on the 32-bit VID_DATA bus. VID_RDY indicates the
VP is ready to accept video data for the next video source
line. The VP typically starts fetching video data five scan
lines before the data is required for display.
