Dynamically Reconfigurable Video/Graphic Processor

Eugene Leonard

A prototype design of a low-cost, simplified-operation video/graphic machine is described. The goal was the ability to generate VCR-quality short-subject programs using limited technical, artistic, and financial resources. The result is a compact parallel-processing hardware architecture that raises complex software problems, but suggests that present microprocessor-oriented designs may not provide the best implementation for video manipulating equipment and systems.
