The video controller logic will be able to handle just about anything, although the analog DAC may limit things a bit. We intend to support dual-link DVI, so resoltions like 2560x2048 will be easily attainable. > > This impacts the clock rate we need to support on the Video DACS. > > Have we finalized the pixel formats yet?

Shouldn't be hard. What's special about it?

I'm designing things to run at 200Mhz, but when it's all put together, it likely won't run at more than maybe 150, due to routing delays. Thermal issues will be considered in how ASIC resources are used (disable RAM blocks when not in use, etc.), and we'll have a chart of frequency vs. power requirements. > > VGA - out DVI - I out?
