Short: P96 Picture-in-Picture demo src Author: thomas.richter@alumni.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter) Uploader: thomas ricther alumni tu-berlin de (Thomas Richter) Type: dev/src Version: 1.0 Requires: P96 >= 2.1.0 Architecture: generic This archive contains example source code how to use the P96 picture-in-picture/overlay feature some graphics cards offer, in particular the PicassoIV and the CVision3D support them. Overlays are screen regions within which a separate memory region in its own color space is shown. For example, an overlay could display a YUV video on a 256 color screen. Scaling and color space conversion is performed in hardware, and hence very fast. This archive provies source code for creating a high-color (16bit) overlay on a P96 screen - all provided sufficient bandwidth is available, and the screen mode supports overlays. You will need a compiler (SAS/C preferably) and the P96 development archive available from iComp. Sources are prepared to be compiled with registered parameters, small code/data model, no startup code, but can be easily modified to other settings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New in release 1.0: - This is the first Aminet release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This source code is available under the 0-clause BSD license: Copyright (C) 2021 Thomas Richter Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted.
