Abstract
An arrangement is described which multiplies the apparent horizontal resolution of color video display systems without requiring that the video memory in the system be multiplied equivalently. The arrangement may advantageously comprise any given number of bits per picture element for defining a displayable number of colors. One or more additional bit(s) per picture element is provided to convey positional information used for determining the location in a display at which the bits of color information are displayed. The additional memory requirement is limited to this one or more additional bits for each picture element in the display, instead of having the effect of multiplying the number of bits stored per PEL.
