  2. Extended Display Identification Data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display...

    The data is transmitted via the cable connecting the display and the graphics card; VGA, DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI are supported. [citation needed] The EDID is often stored in the monitor in the firmware chip called serial EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) and is accessible via the I²C-bus at address 0x50. The EDID ...

  3. Framebuffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framebuffer

    A frame buffer may be designed with enough memory to store two frames worth of video data. In a technique known generally as double buffering or more specifically as page flipping, the framebuffer uses half of its memory to display the current frame. While that memory is being displayed, the other half of memory is filled with data for the next ...

  4. Video random-access memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory

    Video random-access memory (VRAM) is dedicated computer memory used to store the pixels and other graphics data as a framebuffer to be rendered on a computer monitor. [1] It often uses a different technology than other computer memory, in order to be read quickly for display on a screen.

    This implies that unless the size of a single scanline's raster data is a power of two, raster data cannot be laid out continuously in video memory. Instead, graphics modes on the CGA store the even-numbered scanlines contiguously in memory, followed by a second block of odd-numbered scanlines starting at video memory position 8,192.

  6. Computer monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_monitor

    A computer monitor is an output device that displays information in pictorial or textual form. A discrete monitor comprises a visual display, support electronics, power supply, housing, electrical connectors, and external user controls. The display in modern monitors is typically an LCD with LED backlight, having by the 2010s replaced CCFL ...

  7. Resident monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_monitor

    The resident monitor could clear memory from the last used program (with the exception of itself), load programs, search for program data and maintain standard input-output routines in memory. [ 2 ] Similar system software layers were typically in use in the early days of the later minicomputers and microcomputers before they gained the power ...

    Necessary to correctly display rendering primitives that partially pass behind the camera. Nearest-neighbor interpolation Simplest form of interpolation that for given position outputs the color of the nearest sample. Noise In real world data a noise is an unwanted distortion of the captured signal, e.g. in photography.

  9. System monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_monitor

    A system monitor displaying system resources usage. A system monitor is a hardware or software component used to monitor system resources and performance in a computer system. [1] Among the management issues regarding use of system monitoring tools are resource usage and privacy. Monitoring can track both input and output values and events of ...
