Short example sentences

It can also wait for a blitter operation to finish. (10 words)

This allows the blitter to operate on any conceivable video resolution. (11 words)

The blitter is a highly parallel memory transfer and logic operation unit. (12 words)

Longer example sentences

The blitter's block copying mode takes zero to three data sources in memory, called A, B and C, performs a programmable boolean function on the data sources and writes the result to a destination area, D. Any of these four areas can overlap. (44 words)

Other improvements were the ability of the blitter to copy regions larger than 1024 1024 pixels in one operation and the ability to display sprites in border regions (outside of any display window where bitplanes are shown). (37 words)

A custom blitter co-processor was to be included to speed the performance of some graphics operations on the screen, but due to delays it was eventually released on the Mega 2 and Mega 4 machines. (36 words)

Example sentences (17)

For example, bitplane data fetches are prioritized over blitter transfers as the immediate display of frame buffer data is considered more important than the processing of memory by the blitter.

A custom blitter co-processor was to be included to speed the performance of some graphics operations on the screen, but due to delays it was eventually released on the Mega 2 and Mega 4 machines.

Agnus includes sub-components known as the blitter (fast transfer of data in memory without the intervention of the processor) and the Copper (video-synchronized co-processor).

However, properly written programs using the screen VDI commands can use the blitter seamlessly, since GEM API is a higher-level interface to TOS.

It can also wait for a blitter operation to finish.

Later Amigas tended to use a combination of a faster CPU and blitter for many operations.

MFM encoding/decoding is usually done with the blitter — one pass for decode, three passes for encode.

Other improvements were the ability of the blitter to copy regions larger than 1024 1024 pixels in one operation and the ability to display sprites in border regions (outside of any display window where bitplanes are shown).

Advertentie

The bit shift operation requires a small amount of CPU or blitter overhead, whereas conventional 8-bit playback is almost entirely DMA driven.

The blitter allows the rapid copying of video memory, meaning that the CPU can be freed for other tasks.

The blitter is a highly parallel memory transfer and logic operation unit.

The blitter runs either from the start of the block to the end, known as "ascending" mode, or in reverse, "descending" mode.

The blitter's block copying mode takes zero to three data sources in memory, called A, B and C, performs a programmable boolean function on the data sources and writes the result to a destination area, D. Any of these four areas can overlap.

The blitter's filling mode is used to fill per-line horizontal spans.

This allows blitter operation and control to proceed independently of, and concurrently with, the CPU.

This allows the blitter to operate on any conceivable video resolution.

Together, these modes allow the blitter to draw individual flat-shaded polygons.
