Video display controller

A video display controller (VDC), also called a display engine or display interface, is an integrated circuit which is the main component in a video-signal generator, a device responsible for the production of a video signal in a computing or game system. Some VDCs also generate an audio signal, but that is not their main function. VDCs were used in the…
