ON-CHIP MEMORY
Page memory organization
The organization of the page memory is illustrated by Fig.9. The IVT1.8* provides an additional row as compared with
first generation decoders; this brings the display format up to 40 characters by 25 rows. Rows 0 to 23 form the teletext
page; row 24 is the extra row available for software generated status messages and FLOF/FASTEXT prompt
information.
R
Row 0
Row 0 is for the page header. The first seven characters
(0 to 6) are free for status messages. Character 8 is an
alphanumeric white or green control character, written
automatically by IVT1.8* to give a green rolling header
when a page is being looked for. The last eight characters
are for rolling time.
