However, IBM sold the companion CRT monitor (for use with the 8514/A) which carries the same designation, 8514. The 8514 uses a standardised API called the "Adapter Interface" or AI. This interface is also used by XGA , IBM Image Adapter/A , and clones of the 8514/A and XGA such as the ATI Technologies Mach series and IIT AGX .
Professional Graphics Controller (PGC, often called Professional Graphics Adapter and sometimes Professional Graphics Array) is a graphics card manufactured by IBM for PCs. [1] It consists of three interconnected PCBs , and contains its own processor and memory.
The Orchid Graphics Adapter is a graphics board for IBM PC compatible computers, released in 1982 by Orchid Technology. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was intended to provide high resolution (at the time) monochrome graphic abilities to computers limited to text displays .
TGA graphics are built into the motherboards of Tandy computers. The PCjr uses a custom monitor with a unique 18-pin plug, [15] but an adapter (with the same DE-9 connector and pinout as IBM's CGA/EGA) can connect it to the IBM Color Display or similar 4-bit digital RGBI monitor. [16] The Tandy 1000 provides the DE-9 connector directly. [17]
The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is an IBM PC graphics adapter [2] [3] and de facto computer display standard from 1984 that superseded the CGA standard introduced with the original IBM PC, and was itself superseded by the VGA standard in 1987.
Video BIOS is the BIOS of a graphics card in a (usually IBM PC-derived) computer. It initializes the graphics card at the computer's boot time. It also implements INT 10h interrupt and VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE) [ 1 ] [ 2 ] for basic text and videomode output before a specific video driver is loaded.
The Hercules Graphics Card was released to fill a gap in the IBM video product lineup. When the IBM Personal Computer was launched in 1981, it had two graphics cards available: the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) and the Monochrome Display And Printer Adapter (MDA).
Back of a CGA Video Adapter board, with the RCA composite output connector visible on the right. The Color Graphics Adapter uses a standard RCA connector for connection to an NTSC-compatible television or composite video monitor. [3] The connector on the card is female and the one on the monitor cable is male.
