摘要： A palette device controllable by a digital computer with a video memory to produce signals representing color for a video monitor. The palette device includes a multiple-bit input latch for entry of color codes from the video memory, and a look-up table memory for supplying color data words in response to color codes from the input latch. A digital to analog converter responds to color data words to produce an analog color signal. Selection circuitry connected to the input latch and to the look-up table memory supplies the digital to analog converter either with a color data word supplied by the look-up table memory or with a color data word comprised of color codes from the input latch. Improved graphics computer systems, facsimile systems, printer systems and other systems and methods are also disclosed.

摘要： A color palette selects a master clock from plural clock signals received at clock input terminals in response to a master clock selection control word received at control data terminals. A circuit forms a plurality of divided down clock signals from selected divide ratios of the master clock. A circuit selects a shift clock from among the divided down clock signals in response to at least some bits of an output clock selection control word received at the control data terminals. A circuit selectively enables and disables the shift clock in response to blanking data. A circuit selects a video clock from among the divided down clock signals in response to at least some bits of the output clock selection control word. A circuit synchronizes multiple bit words of color code received at color code input terminals with the master clock. A circuit outputs at least one memory recall address in response to receiving each multiple bit word of color code. A circuit stores color data words in a plurality of data storage locations, having associated memory recall addresses, and outputs a color data word upon receipt of an associated memory recall address. A circuit selectively writes color data words into these plural locations. A circuit synchronizes video control signals received at video control terminals with the master clock and provides the blanking data. A circuit selects for output between said color data words and true color data words received at said color code input terminals.
