A BFG Physx card. PhysX is an open-source [1] realtime physics engine middleware SDK developed by Nvidia as part of the Nvidia GameWorks software suite.. Initially, video games supporting PhysX were meant to be accelerated by PhysX PPU (expansion cards designed by Ageia).
In computing, DirectInput is a legacy [1] Microsoft API for collecting input from a computer user, via input devices such as the mouse, keyboard, or a gamepad.It also provides a system for action mapping, which allows the user to assign specific actions within a game to the buttons and axes of the input devices.
Software developers can use it to write high-performance computer games and other multimedia applications that can run on many operating systems such as Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. [7] SDL manages video, audio, input devices, threads, shared object loading, networking and timers. [8]
Components of a GPU. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.
Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a computer audio interface driver protocol for digital audio specified by Steinberg, providing high data throughput, synchronization, and low latency between a software application and a computer's audio interface or sound card. [1]
In non-linear digital video editing, as well as in video compositing software, a key frame is a frame used to indicate the beginning or end of a change made to a parameter. . For example, a key frame could be set to indicate the point at which audio will have faded up or down to a certain lev
Later, card readers that read cards serially, column by column became more common. Card punches necessarily run more slowly to allow for the mechanical action of punching, up to around 300 CPM or 400 characters per second. [5] Some card devices offer the ability to interpret, or print a line on the card displaying the data that is punched ...
One early card was a sandwich of two cards as early processors needed more logic to even get up to 15 frames per second. PCI capture cards offered 30 frames per second. These cards could also handle capturing VHS tapes etc. but VHS image quality was poor so many adopted new video cameras until eventually digital cameras surfaced.
