2-4 Raster Scan Correction for Dual Panels
Set to LRC-(NLUS-NVA) mod LRC -1.
LRC is 3d4h index 75h bit 0-1.
NLUS is 3d4h index 78h-79h Number of Lines on Upper Screen.
NVA is 3d4h index 74h Number of Vertical adjustments.
Note: The Multi Raster Scan defined in this and the next register is
used if 3d4h index 9 bit 7 is clear.
3d4h index 76h (R/W): Raster Scan Data
bit 0-7 Raster Scan Data. A clear bit indicates that the next scanline
should be repeated, whereas a set bit increments the line counter.
The bits are rotated in a 5, 6, 7 or 8 bit cycle depending on
3d4h index 75h bit 0-1.
3d4h index 77h (R/W): LC Adjust
bit 0-4 Latch Clock Adjust. Number of dots times to add to
Start and End Blanking times, as plasma and EL
panels require strict timings.
3d4h index 78h (R/W): Vertical Screen Size H
bit 0 Bit 8 of the Vertical Screen Size.
The lower 8 bits are in 3d4h index 79h.
3d4h index 79h (R/W): Vertical Screen Size L
bit 0-7 Vertical Screen Size bit 0-7. Bit 8 is in 3d4h index 78h.
For full screen panels this value is the number of lines
on the display-1 typically 479.
For Dual Panel Single Drive types use (number of lines in
each panel-1)*2 typically 478.
For Dual Panel Dual Drive types use (number of lines in
each panel-1) typically 239.
3d4h index 7Ah (R/W): Horizontal Screen Size
bit 0-7 Horizontal Screen Size. For Dual Panel Dual Drive types
this is (number of dots per line)/4 -1 typically 159.
For other types this is (number of dots per line)/8 -1
typically 79.
3d4h index 7Bh (R/W): M Signal Pulse Width H
bit 0-1 Bits 8-9 of the M Signal C ontrol.
Lower 8 bits are in 3d4h index 7Ch.
3d4h index 7Ch (R/W): M Signal Pulse Width L
bit 0-7 Bits 0-7 of the M Signal Control.
Bits 8-9 are in 3d4h index 7Bh bits 0-1.
This sets the cycle time for reversing the polarity of
the AC conversion signal M which is transmitted to the
LCD panel.
This is a way of controlling the brightness of the display.
3d4h index 7Dh (R/W): Panel Control
bit 0-1 Selects Panel Screen type.
0 1 Screen Panel
1 2 Screen Single Drive type
2 2 Screen Dual Drive type.
2-3 Selects number of bits to transfer for each pixel.
0 = 1 bit serial, 1 = 4 bit parallel and 2 = 8 bit parallel.
4 If set the Shift Clock is output constantly, otherwise
only during display intervals.
6 If set FLM is output 2 cycles delayed from VSYNC,
if clear they are simultaneous.
7 If set the cursor blinks at a field cycle of 32, 16 if not.
3d4h index 7Eh (R/W): Stand By
bit 0 If set VPDC functions are stopped and Stand-by mode is
entered. Operation is resumed when this bit is cleared.
If DRAMs are used for Video RAM the content of display
memory will be lost in Stand-by mode.
1 If set writing of the Configuration Switches Register
(3d4h index 7Fh) from the CPU is enabled.
3d4h index 7Fh (R/W): Configuration Switches
bit 0-3 Display Type
4-5 Panel/CRT connection
0 VGA CRT (analog) connected
1 EGA CRT (digital) connected
2 or 3 Flat panel connected
6 SRAM is used if set, DRAM else
7 Scratch
3d4h index 80h..FFh (R/W): Color Map Registers.
bit 0-3 Color Map for color #((index#-80h)*2)
4-7 Color Map for color #((index#-80h)*2+1)
Note: index 80h contains color #0 and 1, index 81h color #2 and 3 et cetera.
Grey Scale/Hatching
The Yamaha 6388 VPDC can support both analog, digital and
various panel, plasma and LCD displays.
In order to display original color information on displays
with limited colors (monochrome, 8, 16 or 64 colors/shades)
some conversions must be made.
The VPDC has a Color Mapping Table (CMT) which converts
the 8bit color signal to 4 bits.
This 4 bit code is either used directly for output
or sent through a Grey Scale/Hatching (G/H) converter.
