PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate impressive two- or three-dimensional graphics and surround-sound by a graphics system including a graphics and sound processor for a specific use. SOLUTION: The graphics system includes the graphics and sound processor including a three-dimensional graphics pipeline and a sound digital signal processor. The graphics system includes a graphics processor, and the graphics processor includes an integrated frame buffer for storing frame data before transmitting to an external position such as a main memory. The integrated frame buffer can be selectively constructed to store point-sampled RGB colors and a depth, super-sampled RGB colors and a depth, and a pixel format of YUV (brightness/chromaticity). A programmer can construct the integrated frame buffer for any of pixel formats for every frame by a given graphics command. |
