12.2
Processor Graphics Display
The processor Graphics controller display pipe can be broken down into three 
components: 
Display Planes
Display Pipes
Display Physical Interfaces
A display plane is a single displayed surface in memory and contains one image 
(desktop, cursor, overlay). It is the portion of the display hardware logic that defines 
the format and location of a rectangular region of memory that can be displayed on a 
display output device and delivers that data to a display pipe. This is clocked by the 
Core Display Clock.
12.2.1
Primary Planes A and B
Planes A and B are the main display planes and are associated with Pipes A and B 
respectively. Each plane supports per-pixel alpha blending.
12.2.2
Video Sprite Planes A, B, C and D
Video Sprite Planes A, B, C & D are planes optimized for video decode. Planes A and B 
are associated with Pipe A and Planes C and D are associated with Pipe B.
12.2.3
Cursors A and B
Cursors A and B are small, fixed-sized planes dedicated for mouse cursor acceleration, 
and are associated with Planes A and B respectively.
12.2.4
VGA
VGA is used for boot, safe mode, legacy games, etc. It can be changed by an 
application without OS/driver notification, due to legacy requirements.
