Abstract
In a device for controlling the displaying of characters for a video system, the memory for storing information relating to the displaying of the characters is partitioned into two areas. The first area (Z1, Z1') is for storing, at fixed addresses, data and parameters for general control of the display. The second area (Z2) which is divisible into spaces (B1, B2, B3) of variable sizes stores, in each of the spaces, control parameters and data relating to the displaying of a row of characters, wherein the spaces are chained together by virtue of a parameter, the address of the next memory space, stored in each space. This memory architecture offers multiple possibilities for modifying the display parameters from one row to another within one and the same 'screen' whilst optimizig the size of the memory used.
