E.6.3 MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE CONNECTOR
A multimedia interface is provided through a 40-pin header that includes the VESA standard
feature (VSFC) connector (also known as the VGA pass-through connector) and additional signal
interface. The interface can operate in one of the following three modes:
VSFC Mode
– The VESA Standard Feature Connector (VFSC) mode supports an overlay
peripheral such as an MPEG or TV card. This mode, available in all VGA modes and accelerated
modes, receives video data through the VSFC I/F and overlays the data onto the graphics display
(display clock < 80 Hz).
DVS Mode
– The Digital Video Stream (DVS) mode supports connection to a video decoder.
MPP Mode
– The Multimedia Peripheral Port (MPP) mode supports data streaming from Host
memory out of the multimedia interface.
Figure E-5 shows the multimedia connector.
