9.4.3.1 Pseudo-master Mode
In Pseudo-master Mode shown below, the FS453 has complete control of the graphics system clock, but
relinquishes the video sync signals to the GCC. The GCC provides the FS453 with a complete
complement of digital video signals at the rate of the FS453 clock (CLKOUT).

9.4.3.2 Slave Mode
In Slave Mode shown below, the FS453 is under the complete control of the GCC. The GCC provides
the FS453 with all of the signals needed to produce an analog video signal. One must be careful when
using the Slave Mode. Since the FS453 cannot control the GCC clock, the scalability of video images is
limited. Additionally, if the GCC has a poor quality clock, the system will produce poor quality images.
