1. Introduction

The Video 107AGP 3D & TV brings to the PC unparalleled

price/performance 3D graphics. With rCADE3D™ 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, THAMA™ brings no compromise DVD

playback to the desktop.

The Video 107AGP 3D & TV integrates the advanced rCADE3D™

3D/2D Accelerator with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip

solution. The rCADE3D™ 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 (THAMA™) 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 VESA™ extended VGA; 32-

bit PCI 2.1 local bus interface with Bus Mastering capability;
