In addition to the overlays, the Odyssey came with dice, poker chips, score sheets, play money, and card decks. [5] One peripheral controller was released for the Odyssey, the first video game light gun. Named the Electronic Rifle, the rifle-shaped device registered a hit when pointed at a light source such as a dot on the television screen. [3]
Advanced versions generally had a second set of inputs in RGB format that were used to overlay on-screen display imagery. These would be connected to a microcontroller that would handle operations like tuning, sleep mode and running the remote control. A separate input called "blanking" switched the jungle outputs between the two inputs on the fly.
In computing, hardware overlay, a type of video overlay, provides a method of rendering an image to a display screen with a dedicated memory buffer inside computer video hardware. The technique aims to improve the display of a fast-moving video image — such as a computer game , a DVD , or the signal from a TV card .
Plastic overlays provided with each game slide into place as an extra layer on the keypad to show game-specific key functions. The controller has four side-located action buttons (two for left handed players, two for right handed players), although the top two side buttons are electronically the same, giving three distinct inputs. It also has a ...
In March 2012, g.tec presented the pre-release of their new Screen Overlay Control Interface (SOCI) at the CeBIT exposition in Hannover, Germany. Visitors to the g.tec booth could use the intendiX system to play World of Warcraft and Angry Birds, and additional game interfaces are being developed. The SOCI will be publicly available later in 2012.
A pin controlled by the CPU separates this bus into two "ports", a control port and a data port. To write or read a byte of video memory, the CPU first has to write two bytes on the VDP's control port to the VDC's internal address register. Next, the CPU performs the actual write or read on the VDP's data port.
The Akai VS-2 was the first VCR with an on-screen display, originally named the Interactive Monitor System. By displaying the information directly on the television screen, this innovation eliminated the need for the user to be physically near the VCR to program recording, read the tape counter, or perform other common features.
