ABSTRACT:
A hot-pluggable video architecture system is disclosed. The system includes one or more computers, where each of the computers includes a system bus for carrying signals, such as video bus cycles, a hot-pluggable bus, and a hot-pluggable host controller coupled to the system bus and the hot-pluggable bus. According to the present invention, the hot-pluggable host controller includes a video resource controller for reading and converting the video bus cycles on the system bus into signals having a format of the hot-pluggable bus. An external hot-pluggable video subsystem is further provided that can be removably coupled to the hot-pluggable bus of any one of the computers for processing the signals into a format suitable for a display.
