EX 1: How much time is spent in scanning across each row of

pixels during screen refresh on a raster system with a

resolution of 1280 by 1024 and a refresh rate of 60 frames
per second .Assume horizontal and vertical retrace times are
negligible.
Solution: Resolution of raster system = 1280 by 1024
Refresh rate=60 frames/sec
Time required to scan each row of
pixels=1/60*1024=16.276s
Ex 2: How much time is spent in scanning across each row of
pixels during screen refresh on a raster system with a
resolution of 640 by 480 and a refresh rate of 60 frames per
second.
Solution: Resolution of raster system = 640 by 480
Refresh rate=60 frames/sec
Time required to scan each row of
pixels=1/60*480=32.72s
EX 3: Assuming that a certain full color (24-bit per pixel) RGB
raster system has a 512 by 512 frame buffer, how many
distinct color choices (intensity levels) would be available.
solution:
capacity

Number of distinct color choices=frame buffer

number bits per pixels
(colour)
=512*512/24
=109221

EX 4: How long would it take to load a 640480 frame buffer

with 12-bits per pixel, if 105 bits can be transferred per
second?

Solution: total time required to load frame

buffer=640*480*12
105
=36.864 sec

EX 5: consider the raster system with resolution of

12801024.what size frame buffer(in bytes)is needed for the
systems to store if 24-bits pixel are to be stored?
Solution: size of frame buffer in bytes=1280*1024*24
8
=3.93216*106 bytes
EX 6: consider a non interlaced raster monitor with a
resolution of n by m (m scan lines and n pixels per scan
line),a refresh rate of r frames per second ,a horizontal
retrace time of thoriz and vertical retrace time of tvert. what is
the fraction of total refresh time per frame spent in retrace
of the electron beam?
Solution: Total refresh time per frame spent in retrace= (m*
thoriz )+ thoriz
EX 7: If a tv screen has 525 scan lines and an aspect ratio of
3:4 , and if each pixels contains 8-bits worth of intensity
information ,how many bits per second are required to show
30 frames each second?
Solution: Given 525 scan lines
Vertical pixels=525
Horizontal pixels=4*525 /3=700
Resolution=700*525
Number of bits per frame=700*525*8=2.94*10 6
Number of bits required per second=2.94* 10 6 *30

106
Ex 8:what is the fraction of the total time per frame spent in
retrace of electron beam for a non interlaced raster system
with resolution of 1280*1024,a refresh rate of 60 hz, a
horizontal retrace time of 5 micro seconds and a vertical
retrace time of 500 micro seconds.
Solution: Total time per frame =1/60=16.67 msec
Total refresh time per frame spent in retrace
= (1024*5*10-6 )
+500*10-6
=88.2*

=5.62 msec
Fraction of the total time per frame spent in retrace=5.62
msec/16.67 msec
=0.337
Ex 9: consider a raster display system with resolution of 800
by 400.how many pixels could be accessed per second by a
display controller that refreshes the screen at the rate of 60
frames per second?
Solution: Pixels could be accessed per second=800*400*60
= 19,200,000
Ex 10: For refreshing a 1280 by 1024 screen with 32- bits
(one word) pixels at 50 hz requires a memory accesses occur
every
1/(1280*1024*50)=15.269 nano
seconds
Ex 11:[X * Y * color depth (in bits)]
this would give you the the frame buffer size in bits.
Example:
Say we had a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and a color depth of 4 bits.
we would go
1280 * 1024 * 4

to give us
5242880 bits
then to get bytes we divide by 8 to get
655360 bytes
then to get kilobytes we divide by 1024 (Remember computers are base 2)
640 kilobytes
so a computer running at 1280 x 1025 with a color depth of 4 bits requires a frame buffer
of 640 kilobytes.
