ACT apricot - Display Unit

HARDWARE
DISPLAY UNIT
The standard Display Unit is a high resolution 9 inch
green on black display. A long persistence phosphor (P39) is
used
to reduce operator eye fatigue by minimising display
flicker. A
control next to the recessed carrying handle
adjusts the brightness of the display.
The Display Unit is connected to the System Unit by
means of a six way cable, which carries the video data,
synchronising pulses and + 12V supply.
The Apricot computer is capable of displaying bit mapped
images with a resolution of 800 pixels horizontally by 400
pixels vertically. In the character mode, a text display area
of 80 characters by 25 lines is available, using a character
cell of
10 pixels by 16 pixels. The video attributes in the
character mode are:
(a) Reverse
(b) Highlight
(c) Underline
(d) Strike-through
