Perhaps the most famous video card in the North American market was the NewTek Video Toaster.

The first version of the Aster consisted of four " Eurocard's ", one Z80 CPU card with 64KB memory, one Motorola MC6845 based video card, one double density floppy disk controller card and one " keyboard / RS232 / cassette interface " card.

To enhance and modernize the Aster CT-80 the company also designed three alternative video display adapters to supplement or replace the TRS-80 compatible video card, ( due to the modular nature of the Aster it was simply a matter of changing the video card, and / or CPU card to upgrade the system ).

* A very High resolution monochrome video card with blitter and hardware text line and arc drawing capability, was designed for CAD applications, based on the NEC µPD7220 chip designed for graphic terminals, but was also used by some personal computers like the DEC Rainbow, and notably also for the Tulip System I.

* A colour video card with sprite capability based on the same video chip ( the TMS9918 ) as the TI99 / 4 and MSX computers, designed for gaming, and more creative and colorful educational software.

* A replacement card for the original TRS-80 compatible video card, software compatible to the original one, but with added color and very high resolution capabilities.

Based on a newer, slightly more flexible, version of the Asters original Motorola MC6845 video chip, the Rockwell 6545, it worked by adding a new video mode, one with the ability to reprogram an extended, ( 2048 characters instead of 256 characters ) version of the character set, supported by an extended character memory of the video card that did not use one ( 8 bit ) byte per character, but an 11 bit " word ", so it could address each one of the available 2048 unique programmable characters.

The video card also supported 16 foreground and 16 background colors per character, by providing one byte per character position ( 2K ) of " color ram ".

The " dual boot mode " BIOS actually discovered whether a TRS-DOS, or Aster CP / M disk was placed in the drive, and would, depending on the type of disk, reorganise the internal memory architecture of the system, to either be 100 % TRS-80 compatible or optimally support CP / M, with as much " workspace " as possible, and the 80x25 video mode.

In practice a technique called vestigial sideband is used to reduce the channel spacing, which would be at least twice the video bandwidth if pure AM was used.

I think Chrysalis would agree that The Specials ’ Ghost Town video helped sales a good deal.

The band continued to write and perform new material during this time, which would appear on their next album ( some of these early performances can be seen in the Live at DMPO's on Broadway video, originally released by Dirk Dirksen and later reissued on Rhino ).

The digitized and processed video information from these units would then be converted back to standard analog video.

It would eventually be replaced by cheaper systems using video compression, most notably Sony's Digital Betacam ( still heavily used as a electronic field production ( EFP ) recording format by professional television producers ) that were introduced into the network's television studios.

Assuming a compression algorithm that shrinks the input data by a factor of CF, the bit rate and video size would equal to:

Examples of this would be woodworking, photography, moviemaking, jewelry making, software projects such as Photoshopping and home music or video production, making bracelets, artistic projects ( such as drawing, painting, etc.

Doom became a cultural phenomenon and its violent theme would eventually launch a new wave of criticism decrying the dangers of violence in video games.

Later, he incorporated videotape, and as more portable and affordable equipment became available, this technique would become an industry standard known as video assist.

That would allow seeking within the video stream at a minimum of 10 second intervals.

The AMAS has attempted to negotiate solutions with video game companies, arguing that an open-source or reasonably priced alternative would emerge from an unfavorable situation.

So, a workaround, Uuencode ( and later on Base64 and yEnc ), was developed which mapped the binary data from the files to be transmitted ( e. g. sound or video files ) to text characters which would survive transmission over Usenet.

In the complete raster ( disregarding half lines due to interlacing ) the even-numbered scan lines ( every other line that would be even if counted in the video signal, e. g.

It could either run full-screen, using its own set of video drivers, or " seamlessly ," where Windows programs would appear directly on the OS / 2 desktop.

would return to Paramount ( though, except for few other films, video rights belong to Olive Films, after years of distribution by Lionsgate ).

In April 2011, Pepsi announced that customers will be able to buy a complete stranger a soda at a new " social " vending machine, and even record a video that the stranger would see when they pick up the gift.

In April 2008, King spoke out against HB 1423, a bill pending in the Massachusetts state legislature that would restrict or ban the sale of violent video games to anyone under the age of 18.

While conceding that he saw no artistic merit in some violent video games, King also opined that such games reflect the violence that already exists in society, which would not be lessened by such a law, and would be redundant in light of the ratings system that already exists for video games.

This Einstein android, also called " Albert Hubo ", thus represents the first full-body walking android in history ( see video at

* Atmosfear ( series ), also known as Nightmare, a video oriented boardgame famously known for introducing " The Gatekeeper "

It also found a prominent role in the desktop video, video production, and show control business, leading to affordable video editing systems such as the Video Toaster.

24-bit graphics cards and video cards were also available.

Due to needing two accesses to each chip instead of one, and the complications of the video hardware also needing access, reading or writing RAM was much slower than on the BBC Micro.

Tridgell was also a leader in hacking the TiVo to make it work in Australia, which uses the PAL video format.

The ansible is also featured in the video game Advent Rising, for which Card helped write the story.

Arcologies also appear in video games, such as SimCity 2000, Escape Velocity Nova, Deus Ex: Invisible War, Call to Power II, Shadowrun, and Mass Effect.

* It was also during the 1990s that the anime craze grew out of video games, and the youth group known as otaku began to pour into Akihabara.

In the Nintendo / GameFreak video game franchise " Pokémon ", there are three creatures in the same evolutionary chain named Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam ( the third of which is also an alleged magic word used by stage magicians ).

There was also a music video where a man runs on fire in slow motion (" California " by Wax ).

The track with Cher also resulted in a music video directed by Tamra Davis and Yvette Kaplan.

The eye in the sky usually makes a video recording of the table, which helps in resolving disputes and identifying dealer mistakes, and is also used to protect the casino against dealers who steal chips or players who cheat.

, also known as Bust-a-Move, is a 1994 tile-matching arcade puzzle video game for one or two players created by Taito Corporation.
