Chapter 4. VGA, LCD, DOC Feature
4-1. AGP-BUS VGA Feature
The ENDAT-3201M/MF/MH built-in Graphics Controller is a fully integrated
64-bit 2D/3D Accelerator. The high performance graphics engine offers high speed
3D image processing in full compliance and compatibility with IBM® VGA and
VESA™ extended VGA.
The on-board Graphics Controller supports a full AGP implementation internally to
remain compatible with existing software and programming models. However,
since the engine is integrated it enjoys a higher bandwidth and lower latency than is
possible with discrete solutions. The Controller also supports two simultaneous
displays: CRT, Flat Panel Monitor.
The on-board Graphics Controller’s main system features include:
- High Performance single cycle GUI
- Highly Integrated RAMDAC™ and Triple Clock Synthesizer
- Full Feature High Performance 3D Graphics Engine
- High speed internal AGP Bus Mastering data bus supporting DVD video
playback & 3D
- Hardware implementation of motion compensation
- Dual Video Windows for Videoconferencing
- Versatile Motion Video Capture/Overlay/Playback Support
- Flexible Frame Buffer Memory Interface
- Advanced Mobile Power Management and CRT Power Management
(VESA™ DPMS)
- PC99 Hardware Support

4-2. LCD Flat Panel Feature
Flat Panel Monitor Interface
The on-board graphic controller also support industry standard TFT LCD panel, the
interface supports both 18-bit and 24-bit display modes. Optionally, an 18+18 panel
can be supported utilizing external latches (UC-1818L). On-board also support
LVDS interface to provide a low voltage, high speed, low EMI serial DC-balanced
differential data via external LVDS transmitters to support TFT LCD Panel with
LVDS built-in.
The flat panel interface provides or supports the following functions for various
panels:
- Generates flat panel interface signals like FLM, LP, SCLK, and DE
- Generates different video data formats to directly drive different types of
panels
- Vertical and horizontal expansion of video displays to LCD panel resolution
- Vertical and horizontal centering
- Panel power sequence
Please note that the default setting is with “CRT only”. If the LCD display
feature is required, the setting will need to be revised in the system BIOS setting:
“Display Device” under “
PCI / Plug and Play Setup”;
unless it is specified at the
time of order.
