Introduction
The
TV
DAZZLE
R®
color graphics module
provides ageneral
purpose
interface
between
your
computer
and
your
color
TV.
The
DAZZLER®
can
be
used
to
generate games,
animated
displays, educa·
tional learning drills
or
even light shows. all
in
full
color.
The
DAZZLER®
is
manufactured
by
era-
memco Inc.,
280
Bernardo
Ave.,
Mountain
View,
CA
94040.
The
DAZZLER®
is built
on
two
boards
design-
ed
to
plug
directly
into
any
computer
using
the
5-11313
microcomputer
bus. The video
output
of
the
DAZZLE
R® can be connected
directly
to
the
video
input
of
a
color
TV
set. By using
an
optional
RF
modulator,
the
DAZZLER®
can
be
conveniently
connected
to
the
antenna
terminals of
the
TV set,
rather
than
the
input
of
the
video
amplifier.
With
the
DAZZLER®
interface,
TV
games
that
are
either
unavailable,
or
available
only
in
black
and
white,
can
flOW
be
programmed
in full
color.
Afoot-
ball can
now
sail
over
a
bright
green
playing
field
under
the
software
control
of
your
computer.
Rocket
ships can
spew
red-yellow flames against a
brilFoantly blue sky.
Or
perhaps
you wish
to
chal-
lenge
your
computer
to
agame
of
checkers
or
chess
on
a
recl
and
black playing
board-again
generated
on
your
TV
screen
by
the
TV
DAZZLER®
inter-
face.
If
you
use
your
computer
for
business
or
ac-
counting
purposes,
the
DAZZLER®
interface
can
be
used
to
display
multi·colored
graphs
of
the
data
stored in
your
computer.
Your
computer
can
be
used
to
process and
format
the
raw
data
while
his-
tograms,
charts
or
graphs
of
the
data
are
displayed
on
your
color
TV.
The
DAZZLER®
interface
can
also
turn
your
color
TV
into
a
TV
terminal.
Alphanumeric
charac-
ters
entered
from a
teletype
or
ASCII
keyboard
can
be displayed
directly
on
the
screen
of
your
TV
using
our
DAZZLEWRITER
software
for
character
gener-
ation. Messages
can
also
be
generated
internally
in
your
computer
and
displayed-in
full
color.
Alpha-
numeric messages,
titles
or
comments
can
similar~
be displayed
in
conjunction
with
DAZZLER
games or
OAZZ
LE
R® graphic displays.

A
new
interface
board
from
Cromemco,
our
D+7A liD,
is
particularly
useful
for
inputting
analog
signals
for
use in
conjunction
with
the
DAZZLER®.
Analog signals
from
joysticks,
for
example,
can
be
input
to
the
computer
with
the
D+7A
module
for
use in
controlling
a
DAZZLER®-generated
display.
Another
use
of
the
DAZZLER®
interface is
in
computerized
instruction
either
at
home
or in
the
classroom. Word
recognition
tests, "flash
card"
arithmetic
drills, and
memory
training
can all
be
carried
out
with
the
excitement
of
afull-color dis-
play.
Games
can
be
interspersed
with
learning
exer·
cises
to
maintain
student
interest
and
enthusiasm.
(For
more
information
on
the
use
of
the
DAZ-
ZLER®
see
the
December
'976
issue
of
BYTE mag-
azine,
"The
Cybernetic
Crayon,"
pp.
24·29.
138-
141,
and
the
September
1978
issue
of
PERSONAL
COMPUTING,
"DAZZLER®
Graphics,"
pp.
58-72.)
Design
The
DAZZLER®
interface
is
a
very
advanced
design using
over
70
MaS
and
TTL
integrated
circuits
on
two
printed
boards.
Yet
the
DAZZLE
R@
kit
is
easy
to
build.
Aspecial varnish or
"solder
mask"
is used
to
guard
against
shorts
during
board
construction.
And
alegend mask is silk-screened
directly
on
the
board
to
show
precisely where
each
component
is
placed.
Only
the
highest
quality
parts
are
used
in
the
DAZZLER®
interface.
The
printed
circuit
boards
are double-sided glass-epoxy with
plated-through
holes
and
gold
plated
edge
contacts.
Ie sockets
are
used
for
all dual-in·line ICs. And
carbon
film resist·
ors
are
used for high-speed
operation
and
tempera-
ture
stability.
The
two
DAZZLER®
boards
may
be plugged
directly
into
two
adjacent
slots
in
your
computer.
A
16-conductor
ribbon
cable.
with 0 IP plugs
on
each
end,
is
used
to
interconnect
the
two
boareJs.
Alternatively
Board 2
may
be
mounted
"piggyback"
on
Board
1so
that
only
one
slot
is
required.
In
this
configuration,
seven
additional
jumper
wires
must
be used
to
interconnect
Board
1with Board
2.

Software
Cromemco provides software support
for
the
D.AZZLER® interface.
Two
basic software packages
are provided;
DAZZ
LE
R®
GAM
ES
and
DAZ-
ZI_ER® GRAPHICS.
The
DAZZLER® games
package
consists
of
a
Cromemco
DAZZLER®
Games
Instruction
Manual
and sixteen games (see box below) on either a
5"
diskette (model FOG-S), or
an
8"
diskette (model
FIJG-Ll. Either package
is
available
from
Cromem·
co, I
nc.
for
$95.
The
DAZZLER® graphics
package
allows the
u~:er
to
display graphs, graphics
and
alphanumerics
on
acolor TV set. It consists
of
a
DAZZlER®
Graphics
Instruction
Manual
and
the
graphics pro-
gram
on
either a
5"
diskette
(model DGR-Sl,
or
.~
an
8"
diskette
(model
DGR-L). Either package
is
available
from
Cromemco, I
nco
for
$95.
Operation
The
DAZZLE R® interface uses high-speed dir-
ect
memory
access (DMA)
to
read
the
memory
of
the
host
computer
and
translates the
information
in
the
memory
into a
color
TV
signal.
The
keyadvan-
tage
of
using
DMA
is
that
the
DAZZLER® can dis-
play·a
picture
white
at
the
same
time
the
computer
is
executing
either arelated
or
unrelated program.
Only a
15%
slow-down
of
the
computer
execution
is
realized during
the
DAZZLE
R®
operation.

In
order
to
generate
aTV picture
with
OAZ-
ZLER®,
the
information
that
the DAZZLER(;)
reads
from
the
computer
memory
must
be
properly
formatted.
In
resolution X 4 mode, each point
all
the
TV screen
is
controlled
by
just
one
bit
in
the
computer
memory. When
that
bit
is
a
"1"
the cor-
responding element
of
the
picture
is
on. When
that
bit
is
a</0" the
picture
element
is
off.
In
resolution
X 4
mode,
the
color
and intensity of
the
picture
is
set by
bits
00
to
03
of
the control
word
at
output
port
0FH.
For full color
in
resolution X 4 mode,
multiple frames
of
different colors
must
be
intel--
leaved.
In
norma! resolution mode,
the
color and inten-
sity
of
each
element
of
the TV picture are
contra
-
led by afour-bit
"nybble"
in
the
computer
memory.
Two
elements
of
the
picture
are
thus
stored
in
eacn
byte (8 bits) of memory. (For this reason, a64 x
64
picture in normal resolution
mode
requires
2K
of
memory.)
The
lowest order
bit
of
each nybble
(00)
•
determines
whether the corresponding element
of
::
the
picture
contains red
(1)
or
no
red
{0l. Similarly,
D1
controls
green,
02
controls blue,

Using
Two
DAZZLERS
In
Your
Computer
If
you
wish
to
control
two
TV
sets
simulta-
neously,
you
can
use
two
DAZZLERS@
in
your
computer
at
the
same time. To
synchronize
the
DAZZLERS®, remove
the
jumper
wire
connecting
"SYNC
IN"
to
"G"
on
Board 1
ofoneoftheDAZ-
ZLERS®. Now
connect
"SYNC
OUT"
from
the
other
DAZZLER®
to
the
SYNC
IN
pad
that
used
to
be
connected
to
"G".
The
two
DAZZLERS@
are
synchronized
with
this
connection
so
that
they
may
be
operated
simultaneously in
the
same
com-
puter.
Test
Program
The
following program
is
useful tor testing
the
o~eration
of
the
DAZZLE
R®
and
is useful
for
ini-
tial tune-up.
To
operate
this
program
you
must have
a":
least
2K
bytes
of
memory
beginning
at
location
zero in
memory.
The
test
program and
tune-up
procedure
makes
use
of
the
front panel switches
(at
input
port
FF)
of
the
Cromemco
2-1
computer.
This program
begins
by
putting
the
bit
sequence
e:
"10000000" into
the
accumulator
and
outputting
it
to
port
0EH,
This
turns
on
the
DAZZLER®
and
tells it
that
the
picture
that
it
is
to
display begins
at
location zero
in
memory.
Next
the
program
uses
the
front
panel sense switches
to
set
the
control
word
sent
to
output
port
0FH,
This
allows
the
user
to
experiment
with
different
output
formats
and ap-
preciate
the
fantastic versatility
of
the
DAZZLER®
display, When sense switch A
12
is
raised
the
DAZ-
ZLER® goes
into
color
mode,
and
acolorful quil1-
hke
pattern
will
appear
on
the
TV
screen.
Tune
Up
The
tune-up
procedure
for
the
DAZZLER®
is
straightforward.
Begin by loading and running
the
above
test
program. Raise
SSW
A12. Adjust R29 for
astable
picture
on
your
screen, Now raise SSWs 10,
11,
12,
13,
14.
Adjust
e17
for
the
brightest
blue
color
on
your
screen. Now lower
SSW
A
10
and
raise
A9.
Adjust
R28
for
the
brightest
green. Finally
lower
SSW
A9 and raise
SSW
AS. Adjust R27 for
the
brightest
red.
The
tune-up
of
DAZZLER®
is
now
complete.

C A length of
RG174/U
cable
is
provided
to
connect
the
Dazzler to your
TV.
The

the
cable
should be soldered
to
the
terminal
labeled
"OUT"
on
Board
1
(i,ee
Note
below).
The
sh,;eld
of
the caule
should
be
soldered
to
the
adjacent foil ground.
The
other 'Jnd
of
thiS
cable
can be
coupled
to
the
input
of
the
Video
amplifier
of
a
TV,
If
you
prefer
to
connect
to
the
antenna
terminals
of
the
set
rather
than
to the video amplifier input, aRF mod,
ulator
is
required. The
most
cost-effective
modulator
that
we know
of
is
the
Pixieverter available for $8.50 from
ATV

Do
not
confuse this with

oBefore using
your
DAZZLER, carefully
In~pect
\lour
work,
The
notch
on

Be
sure
that
all

are
in
