- A processor driving a display is very busy.
- Add some extra hardware to the display to make the job easier.
- Give that hardware DirectMemoryAccess so that it can run by itself.
- Fetch data in the form of instructions (sometimes called a DisplayList) so that the display program can loop and branch.
- You've now got a display processor. Return to step 1.
