Sprite multiplexing

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Sprite_multiplexing an entity of type: TopicalConcept

Sprite multiplexing is a computer graphics technique where additional sprites (moving images) can be drawn on the screen, beyond the nominal maximum. It is largely historical, applicable principally to older hardware, where limited resources (such as CPU speed and memory) meant only a relatively small number of sprites were supported. On the other hand it is also true that without multiplexing, the sprite circuitry would be idle much of the time, and limited resources were wasted. rdf:langString
