摘要:
An image processor which is connected to a system bus that connects a processor for forming graphic command related to image processing to a main memory that holds command and original image data, and draws image on the frame buffer based upon said graphic command from said processor, wherein said graphic processor has a data bus change-over unit which connects said system bus to a first data bus that is connected to a graphic data memory holding said graphic command and said original image data, or connects said first data bus to a frame buffer which holds the data to be displayed. The image processor realizes a high-speed processing at a reduced cost by using a graphic memory bus coupled to a graphic processor.

A graphic pattern processing apparatus having a display memory, a data processor, a graphic processor, and a plurality of parallel to serial convertors. The display memory stores graphic data in words, each word has a plurality of pixel data and each pixel data has a plurality of bits. A graphic processor accesses the display memory and processes a plurality of the pixel data in response to instructions received from a data processor. The number of parallel to serial convertors corresponds to the number of bits per pixel and are configured to allow a word from the display memory to be converted into a serial stream of pixel data.

A CRT (cathode ray tube) controller for controlling one CRT device in an interlace mode has a synchronizing circuit of bi-directional construction, in order to make possible synchronous operation of the CRT controller with other circuits (other CRT controllers or a TV system). When the CRTC is used as a master circuit of a CRT display system, a synchronizing signal is derived from the synchronizing circuit in synchronization with a count signal of a vertical scanning counter and an output of an interlace controller of the CRTC, and is supplied to a synchronizing terminal of the other CRTCs. Scanning counters and a flip-flop for controlling an interlace operation of the other CRTCs are reset to their initial state in synchronization with the synchronizing signal. When the CRTC is used as a slave circuit, scanning counters and a flip-flop of the CRTC are reset to their initial state in synchronization with the external synchronizing signal.

A graphic processor which controls reading, writing and transfer of graphic data for a display memory that stores graphic data. The processor includes a first unit which stores first address information for addressing the display memory and first pixel address information which points a pixel position in a word specified by the first address information, a second unit which stores second address information for addressing the display memory and second pixel address information which points a pixel position in a word specified by the second address information, a third unit which shifts graphic data of multiple pixels included in two consecutive words to extract continuous 1-word graphic data, and a fourth unit which implements drawing computations pixel-wise concurrently for one word depending on the number of pixels included in a word. Even if transfer source graphic data lies across two consecutive words, the processor fetches the source data in single reading, processes the data word-wise at once, and stores the result in the display memory.

A graphic processing system has a processor for managing a display area and a character font area both included within an address space. From coded information indicative of a character transferred through a data bus of the system, the processor generates an address at which a character font pattern of the corresponding character has been stored and transfers that character font pattern to a predetermined position on the display area. The graphic processing system realizes high speed development of fonts.
