Abstract
In storing data for display, traditionally twenty-four bit video pixels have required extra video memory to store the video pixels on double word boundaries or extensive hardware to fully utilize video memory. Eight twenty-four bit video pixels are stored within three quad words in a manner that reduces the required hardware from prior approaches and fully utilizes video memory.
