ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for transmitting video data over a standard personal computer bus optimizes the video data transfer rate of the bus by parsing the video data into appropriately sized and selected blocks. The video data blocks required for display are stored in a first-in first-out register, addressed, and sent over the data bus of the computer. Video data not required for display is discarded. The video data may be addressed to any location in the memory of the computer for display or further processing.
