The PMC-VGA Module is a PCI Mezzanine Card–based video graphics adapter engineered for embedded systems and industrial applications requiring integrated display output. It delivers standard SVGA capabilities through a 15-pin DB-15 connector, supporting resolutions up to 1280 × 1024 pixels with 16 million colors. The module features either a CL-GD5446 VisualMedia Accelerator or CHIPS B69000 HiQ Graphics Accelerator chipset paired with 2–4 MB of VRAM and a 64-bit BitBLT graphics engine for hardware-accelerated rendering and video playback.
