6.7.1. Resolution Control

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the purpose of resolution control in the VGA Peripheral?

   Hint

   Think about how clarity relates to pixel count.

2. 2.

   What two common resolutions might you see in VGA displays?

   Hint

   Recall some of our class discussions on display examples.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of the resolution control registers?

   • To manage audio settings
   • To define display resolutions
   • To control power consumption

   Hint

   Think about control over display outputs.

4. 4.

   True or False: Higher resolution guarantees better performance in all scenarios.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the trade-offs involved.

5. 5.

   Predict the performance issues you might encounter if an embedded system is pushed to display at maximum resolution without adequate memory support.

   Hint

   Consider what happens when data overflows.

6. 6.

   Evaluate how you might design a graphical application for a resource-constrained environment while maintaining an acceptable level of image quality.

   Hint

   Focus on the crucial trade-offs in limited systems.
