Any number of pixels per line and numbers of lines per frame are supported in progressive and interlaced modes. Two video inputs and one video output can be supported simultaneously. No memory bus resizing is done, so the full memory bandwidth is available at all times. No external video capture or display buffers are required. Pixel, line, field and frame sync signals are directly supported by the video-aware, parallel DMA ports for the utmost ease of video interface.
All ports are asynchronous of each other for maximum flexibility.
The A236 Chip executes a single task in parallel, so simple, familiar, scalar processing programming techniques can be used, and a simple, single-task operating system can be used for software development. A reduced functionality version is available from our Web page. The most extensive Help capability in the industry is also provided within the tools.
