DMA stands for “Designated Market Area” and is a term used by Nielsen Media Research to identify an exclusive geographic area of counties in which the home market television stations hold a dominance of total hours viewed. There are 210 DMA's in the U.S. More info can be found at Nielsen Media Research, Glossary of Media Terms and Acronyms http://www.nielsenmedia.com. See similar questions...

Knoppix does the very best it can to automatically figure out what hardware the PC has & it does this without human intervention. DMA is a feature that speeds up data tranfer on IDE devices such as CDROM drive& HD drives. Some chipsets and/or harddiscs are broken or buggy. Using DMA would cause problems on such systems. If your system works properly with DMA, and you are booting from HD, you can enable it by typing "/sbin/hdparm -c3 -d1 -m16 -k1 /dev/hda" or by editing the "/etc/init. See similar questions...

Ultra-DMA, also knows as UDMA, Ultra ATA, or Fast ATA-2 , is a further enhancement of the EIDE disk-drive interface, available on the newer G3 Macs and on some PCs (Intel 440TX, LX, BX, and later chipsets; VIA/AMD VPX, VP2/97, AMD-640 chipsets; Promise Ultra33 (FastTrack) controller. Win95 and WinNT require an upgrade to exploit UDMA; Win98 supports it fully). UDMA drives tend to be a lot cheaper that SCSI-3 drives, and are often capable of stutter-free capture and playback of DV data. See similar questions...

DMA (Direct Memory Access) is a system whereby the peripherals on your computer can transfer data to and from memory directly, without going via the CPU. If the picture display is jerky, having DMA enabled significantly improves performance. We strongly recommend that you have DMA enabled when running ShowShifter. Windows disables DMA by default.

DMA channels are programmed using Port I/O calls, which are covered in section A). The memory DMA'd from and to should be "DMA SAFE". Before QNX® version 4.24 the shared memory routines always allocate contiguous memory. In 4.24 this changed. Now the only way to allocate DMA SAFE memory with the qnx_segment_alloc_flags() routine. There is a _PMF_DMA_SAFE flag as well as a _PMF_DMA_HIGH flag. Use the DMA HIGH flag if memory above 16Meg is ok, or in other words, you have a PCI adapter. See similar questions...

It depends what you mean by "behind". Somewhere in your initialization sequence you would call dc1394_video_set_transmission(). This causes the camera to start spewing out images until you tell it to stop with the same function. The capture functions can't start or stop the camera. The expected behaviour is for the first frame to be current and the next frame to be one frame time later, no matter when you actually call the capture function. See similar questions...

Stop the camera ISO transmission (optional); wait (sleep) at least one frame period (optional, to be sure you have one frame); repeatedly call dc1394_capture_dequeue(,DC1394_VIDEO1394_POLL) until it returns NULL See similar questions...

This is the original DMA that is available on all models of GB. It is used to do a fast copy of sprite attribute data to Object (sprite) Attribute Memory (OAM) located at $fe00-$fe9f. Sprite attribute data includes sprite X & Y coordinates, tile number, palette number, horizontal flip, vertical flip, and sprite priority. No tile graphics are transferred using this method of DMA. Otherwise known as Horizontal Blank DMA. It is only available on the GBC. See similar questions...

No, not exactly. The DMA International ECHO Awards recognize the total package: brilliant strategy, breakthrough creative, and phenomenal results. All three matter in the real world, so all three are considered here. We judge these criteria individually and as a whole to determine the best of the best. Some campaigns are out-of-sight and get awards. Others are like a bad trip and must go back to the drawing board. See similar questions...
