Graphics Controllers

The BARCO VPCI 5605 is a VME single-slot graphics controller that displays resolutions up to 2048 x 2048 and has the capability of interfacing to high-resolution radar scan converters. The VPCI 5605 supports three independent 8-bit color planes: overlay, underlay and super overlay. This multi-layer architecture enables the display of map data, which can be placed underneath the radar image in the underlay, weather imagery in the overlay and track data and menus in the super overlay.

The BARCO VPCI 5605 was selected by Lockheed Martin, Rockville, Maryland, as a high-performance graphics controller to be interfaced with Motorola processors and Sony's 20" x 20" high-resolution color monitors in the supervisor display consoles of its Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) Color Display.
