Display Control Interface

The Display Control Interface (DCI) is a new display driver interface created jointly by Microsoft and Intel Corporation. DCI-compliant drivers provide a fast, direct way for games and digital video in Windows 95 to write to the video frame buffer. It also enables digital-video playback to take advantage of several specific kinds of hardware support included on advanced graphics adapters.

For more information about DCI, see the DCI Level 2 Specification. This specification is available through the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN); to obtain it, call (800) 759-5474, or, from outside the United States and Canada, call (402) 691-0173.
