    摘要: A video display control system displays a multicolor animation pattern on a screen of a video display unit. The video display control system is mainly constructed by a video RAM (VRAM) and a video display processor (VDP). The VRAM stores animation pattern data, display position data and at least two color data. The VDP reads these data and makes an animation pattern image displayed in at least two colors at a display position on the screen. The animation pattern image, two colors and display position are determined by the animation pattern data, two color data and display position data. In another video display control system, the VRAM stores at least two sets of animation pattern data, display position data and color data. When displaying two animation patterns, the VDP effects a logical operation on the two color data with respect to the overlapping portion of the two patterns and makes the overlapping portion displayed in a new color corresponding to the operation result. When the animation patterns overlaps, the VDP can also deliver a collision signal in place of the logical operation, thereby enabling a CPU to recognize the position of the overlapping portion.

    摘要: A video display processor (VDP) produces a video signal by which a black and white image of an increased gradation can be displayed on a video display unit. The VDP reads from a video RAM (VRAM) either color codes each representative of a color of each display element, or amplitude data representative of amplitudes of a video signal to be reproduced. When displaying an image based on the color codes, the color codes are converted by a color palette circuit into color data each composed of three primary color data, and then supplied to a digital color encoder. The digital color encoder multiplies each of the three color data by predetermined coefficients at proper phase timings to output data representative of three chrominance signals. This output data is summed by an adder circuit and then converted into an analog signal to be supplied to the video display unit as the video signal. When displaying an image based on the amplitude data, the color palette circuit converts the amplitude data into gradation data. The digital color encoder multiplies the gradation data by other proper coefficients so that data proportional in value to the gradation data are obtained at the output of the adder circuit. This data is converted into an analog signal to thereby reproduce the video signal.

In the transparency processing mode, the selector outputs the color codes read by the display processing circuit to the display unit when the predetermined color code is not detected, and outputs the color code contained in the backdrop color register to the display unit when the predetermined color code is detected. The VDP further comprises another detection circuit for detecting a second predetermined color code from the color codes outputted from the selector to output a control signal. And if the second predetermined color code is detected in the transparency processing mode, the display unit displays an image in accordance with an external video signal.

    摘要: A video display processor (VDP) is connectable to an input control device such as a light pen and a mouse. The VDP comprises a counter circuit which is composed of an X counter and a Y counter. When a mouse mode is selected, X and Y pulse signals are supplied to the X and Y counters so that the contents of the X and Y counters represent the amount of movement of the mouse. When a central processing unit (CPU) connected to the VDP reads the contents of the X and Y counters in this mouse mode, the X and Y counters are reset. When a light pen mode is selected, the X and Y counters effect a count operation of a clock signal generated in the VDP in synchronism with the display of image on a screen so that the contents of the X and Y counters represents X-Y coordinates of a display element which is currently displayed on the screen. The CPU reads the contents of the X and Y counters in response to a light detection signal outputted from the light pen thereby to input the X-Y coordinates of the display element selected by the light pen. In a collision detection mode, the counter circuit effects the same counting operation as that effected in the light pen mode. The CPU reads the contents of the X and Y counters in response to a collision detection signal, which is generated by an associated circuit when animation patterns of the video image displayed on the screen overlap, thereby to input the X-Y coordinates of the collision position.
