- A video processor outputs one scan line at a time in synchrony with the TV raster scanout.1983, Bruce J. Schachter, Computer Image Generation, page 72:
- A partial solution, suitable for low-resolution displays, is to place the frame buffer on an isolated bus. This allows video scanout to occur simultaneously with CPU operations that do not affect the frame buffer.1996, James D. Foley, Andries Van Dam, Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice, page 858:
