Busmastering (Announce)

posted by Laaca , Czech republic, 28.01.2008, 07:26

Yesterday I downloaded the Vidix source and quickly looked on it. It seems that hardware acceleration support is very limited if any. The reason why is it faster is the DMA busmastering technique when copying data from RAM into VideoRAM. The copying is not done by processor but via DMA like soundcards.
Does somebody know something about this technique?
