`

`Viewing 3D Graphics
`
`RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION’s 3D Acceleration features
`supports the following advanced 3D graphics capabilities:
`
`OpenGL Support
`QuickDraw 3D RAVE Support
`Twin Cache Architecture
`Single Pass Multi-texturing
`Triangle Setup Engine
`Bilinear/Trilinear Filtering
`Line Anti-aliasing
`Specular Highlights
`Perspectively Correct Texture Mapping
`(cid:127) Mip-Mapping

`environment mapping
`
`In addition, the RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION brings new
`and exciting graphics technologies to the Macintosh platform:
`
`TRUFORM™ is a rendering technology that pre-processes 3D
`artwork being fed into the graphics accelerator by converting it
`from flat triangle data into curved surface data, allowing much
`more highly detailed and realistically lit images with virtually
`no performance loss.
`
`SMOOTHVISION™ is an anti-aliasing solution that raises the bar
`for image quality using programmable multi-sampling methods to
`post-process graphics before they are displayed.
`
`SMARTSHADER™ (supported in Mac OS X only) is a new
`technology which revolutionizes the graphics pipeline by making both
`the geometry processing and pixel processing stages more
`programmable than ever before. Developers can easily create amazing
`new graphics effects while maintaining a high level of performance.
`
`HYPER Z™ II makes Z-buffer bandwidth usage more efficient by
`decreasing the amount of information sent to the frame buffer.

`

`

`CHARISMA ENGINE™ II is a transform and lighting technology
`which controls changing shapes and lighting while maintaining fast 3D
`game performance
`
`PIXEL TAPESTRY™ II uses six independent texture units per
`rendering pipeline giving highly realistic and detailed 3D graphics.
`
`VIDEO IMMERSION™ II incorporates MPEG-2 decoding,
`adaptive de-interlacing, and frame rate conversion.
`
`These features make it possible to quickly render 3D graphics,
`produce atmospheric effects, calculate light and color shading,
`and determine which objects are in the foreground and which
`are in the background.
`
`RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION only displays 3D graphics in
`thousands and millions of colors. When you use 256 colors,
`there are too few colors to display complex 3D textures, so 3D
`acceleration is not supported.
`
`You can use the 3D Memory Monitor in the ATI Displays
`control panel to see how memory on your RADEON 8500 MAC
`EDITION is allocated when displaying 3D graphics. This allows
`you to optimize 3D performance.
`
`The 3D Memory Monitor is only supported in Mac OS 9.

`If you have more than one display connected to your computer,
`you can identify and configure each display. The ATI Displays
`control panel identifies all the displays connected to your
`computer, but only configures displays that are connected to
`ATI cards.
`
`If you are using multiple monitors and using one display with
`the built-in video, or a non-ATI video card, a generic video card
`icon is displayed in the ATI Displays control panel. You cannot
`make any changes to the generic video card using ATI Displays.
`
`Display Details
`
`The Details window gives you information about specific
`software components needed to enable each of RADEON 8500
`MAC EDITION’s features. Check the Details window to
`determine the files and version numbers of the software
`components installed in your System Folder during the
`installation process. Using the pull-down menu, the Details
`window also lists the Mac OS multimedia software required for

`

`VGA Monitors
`
`If you have a non-DDC-compliant VGA monitor connected to
`your RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION, the VGA icon may be
`active. Some VGA monitors use a Display Data Channel (DDC).
`You do not have to do anything extra to select the supported
`resolutions.
`
`Your RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION uses the DDC information to
`automatically provide the supported resolutions in the Monitors
`control panel and the Control Strip. If your VGA monitor doesn’t
`use DDC, the VGA Monitors icon is active, and you can use it to
`select your monitor from a list of standard monitors.
`
`NOTE
`
`If the VGA icon is dimmed, your computer has detected a DDC
`compliant VGA monitor connected to your RADEON 8500 MAC
`EDITION. You do not have to make a selection.
`
`To Select a VGA Monitor
`
`Select VGA Monitors from the ATI Displays control panel
`Select your VGA model from the list of monitors in the left
`panel of the VGA Monitors dialog box
`A list of resolutions supported by your VGA monitor
`appears in the right panel of the VGA Monitors dialog box.
`You cannot select the monitor resolution using the
`VGA Monitors dialog box. You must use the standard Mac OS
`Monitors control panel.

`
`

`

`Display
`
`The Screen bar indicates the amount of graphics memory is
`allocated to the display’s resolution and color depth. The
`Desktop Pattern bar indicates the amount of memory used by
`your desktop pattern.
`
`To reduce the memory allocated to Display memory:
`
`change the color depth from millions to thousands
`decrease your screen resolution
`
`Textures
`
`The Texture bar indicates the number and size of texture maps
`loaded by 3D applications to add realism to 3D models and
`environments. The Bitmap bar indicates the memory allocated
`to non-3D elements like 2D graphics. To reduce the memory
`allocated to Texture memory, reduce the amount of textures in
`your 3D graphics.
`
`Buffers
`
`The Back Buffer bar and the Z-buffer bar are directly related
`to the size of the 3D window.
`
`To reduce the memory allocated to Buffer memory:
`
`reduce the size of the display window containing
`3D graphics
`reduce the number of the display windows containing 3D
`graphics

`

`

`Using QuickTime Playback
`
`The RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION’s QuickTime playback
`acceleration allows you to stretch even the smallest movies to
`full screen size without compromising frame rate or image
`quality. RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION’s hardware scaler
`maintains the original quality of your QuickTime movie when
`scaling to a larger size – even full screen.
`
`When the monitor is set to display in grayscale (Mac OS 9
`only), QuickTime movies are not accelerated, nor are they
`converted to color. When playing movies in thousands or
`millions of colors, the ATI card utilizes the 3D engine’s
`capabilities to scale and accelerate playback. When scaling
`video, the RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION uses special
`hardware techniques (bilinear filtering) to enhance the video
`quality instead of just repeating pixels.
`
`NOTE
`
`To use RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION’s playback acceleration,
`you must have QuickTime version 5.0 or higher installed on
`your computer.

`

`Changing Display Configurations
`
`Using a TV as your only display
`
`If you are using television display only, disconnect your
`monitor from your RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION. The
`RADEON 8500 MAC EDITION detects that you have a TV
`attached and automatically starts with Mac2TV display enabled.
`
`Optimizing Mac2TV
`
`You can optimize your TV display using the video out
`preferences. Viewing images on your TV can be improved by
`changing the contrast, brightness, or size of your display.
`
`To set the video out preferences, click the Mac2TV icon on the
`ATI Displays Control Panel.
`
`Hue, saturation, and brightness are the three qualities which
`constitute what we normally refer to as “color”.
`
`Hue, often used as a synonym for “color”, is the quality
`that distinguishes among red, green, yellow, and so on
`Saturation is the amount of color present that distinguishes
`pale or washed-out colors from vivid ones
`Brightness is related to the amount of light emitted by your
`display or reflected from an object
`
`Page 22
`
`IPR2018-01045
`Sony EX1028 Page 22
`
`(cid:127)
`(cid:127)
`(cid:127)
`

`

`Hue is generally not adjusted. Depending on the TV, however,
`it may be necessary or desirable to adjust the hue to
`approximate the monitor’s display.
`
`Anti-Flicker reduces the amount of display flicker. Display
`flicker is both a distraction and tiring to your eyes, and is most
`pronounced when text is being displayed.
`
`Dot Crawl is an undesirable characteristic of many Composite
`televisions that is seen as thin, jagged edges moving around
`objects on the screen. It is especially useful for viewing pictures
`or stills. S-Video equipment does not exhibit this effect.
`
`Contrast is a ratio of how far the whitest whites are from the
`blackest blacks. If the contrast is too high, the image may look
`stark, like pure white squares on a jet-black background. If the
`contrast is too low, the image may look gray or washed out.
`
`Reducing Edge Distortion
`
`When using a television for your display, you may see some
`edge distortion on the left and right side of your television
`screen. This effect depends on your television and the
`application you are running.
`
`To reduce edge distortion, you can:
`
`increase the horizontal size by clicking the right Size arrow,
`or
`reduce the brightness by adjusting the brightness slider.
`
`Viewing Text on Television
`
`Due to the different technology used in the manufacturing of
`televisions and monitors, standard text may look too small on
`your television. You can compensate for this by using larger
`fonts.
