DCI | Display Control Interface. The DCI is implemented by the DCI Manager and the DCI Provider. |
DCI Client, DCI User | Libraries that use the DCI interface. |
DCI Command | Any of the commands that a DCI Client can issue to a DCI Provider. |
DCI Provider | The part of DCI that is display-hardware specific. Display hardware vendors may choose to implement versions of the DCI Provider that are tuned to the particular features of their display hardware. Note that the DCI Provider may be a separate module or part of the Windows display driver for a particular vendor implementation. |
DCI Draw Handler | Module that uses DCI to allow digital video codecs that support the ICM_DECOMPRESSEX message to work with DCI. It does not provide part of the DCI interface, nor does it have any specific hardware code. |
DCI Manager | Library that implements the part of DCI that is not display-hardware specific. This library (.LIB) is included in the developer's kit. |
DVA.386/VFlatD.386 | The page-fault handler that implements a virtual flat frame buffer. This module allows bank-switched display devices to appear as linear frame buffers to DCI client software. DVA.386 is needed for support in Windows 3.1 and VFlatD, shipped with Chicago, for supporting the same functionality of DVA.386 in the Chicago version. |
Surface | The area of memory that the DCI Provider provides for DCI access. |
