High Performance Raster Scan Displays

Abstract

A brief discussion of contemporary raster scan display system architecture followed by a detailed description of the Ramtek 9400, an ultra-high-performance raster scan display generator. While the 9400 is well suited for image processing applications, this article focuses most of its attention on the graphic features of the system. Those readers who are searching for a pure image processing solution are encouraged to read further. This article is intended for those seeking a pure graphic or combined graphic and imaging solution such as the projection of a map onto a satellite image, etc.
