  • Embedded frame buffer system and synchronization method
    Patent number: 6128025
    Abstract: A multiple embedded memory frame buffer system includes a master graphics subsystem and a plurality of slave graphics subsystems. Each subsystem includes a frame buffer and a color palette for decompressing data in the frame buffer. The master subsystem further includes a digital to analog converter coupled to receive the decompressed digital data from the palette of each subsystem and outputting analog versions of the digital data to an output device. The system further includes a timing system for determining which outputs of the subsystems are to to be converted by the digital to analog converter at a given time.
    Type: Grant
