A video processing device includes a sprite rendering processor in connection with a display buffer (e.g. line buffers) and an alpha table. The sprite rendering processor alternately performs first rendering based on sprite attribute data and second rendering based on alpha attribute data. The first rendering is performed via alpha blending on video data of sprites, rendering-destination video data of the display buffer, and rendering-destination alpha data of the alpha buffer which are produced via the second rendering with the alpha buffer, thus producing resultant video data, which is written over rendering-destination video data in the display buffer. One type of sprite is connected with at least one alpha table which describes alpha data ranging from perfect transparency and perfect non-transparency and which is optimized to demonstrate an anti-aliasing effect on the boundary of a colored region of each sprite on the screen of a visual display. |
