Abstract: A display interface device 20 is provided which includes inputs for receiving video data words, the video data words including control codes for controlling the output format of a display, and a video clock signal received from an associated video controller. A first-in/first-out memory 30 is also provided with a video data word clocked into memory 30 by the first clock and clocked out of memory 30 by a second clock generated from a clock received from an associated graphics controller.

Abstract: Methods are provided for transferring a stream of video data from a video data source to a display interface unit 20. A video data word is clocked into a first-in-first-out memory 30 by a first clock and clocked out of memory 30 by a second clock generated from a clock received from an associated graphics controller.

Abstract: A circuitry is provided for controlling the display of a window on a display operable to display information as at least one field of a plurality of lines of pixels. First counter circuitry is included which is operable to increment with each of a plurality of selected pixels of a given line. First storage circuitry stores position data representing a first coordinate of a reference pixel in the field, the reference pixel being associated with an area of the field in which the window is to be displayed. First adding circuitry is provided which is operable to add a count corresponding to a current pixel and output from the first counter to the position data in the first register. Second counter circuitry is also provided which is operable to increment with each line of the field. Second storage circuitry stores position data representing a second coordinate of the reference pixel.
