blitter


blitter: /blit'r/ n. A special-purpose chip or hardware system
   built to perform blit operations, esp. used for fast
   implementation of bit-mapped graphics.  The Commodore Amiga and a
   few other micros have these, but in 1991 the trend is away from
   them (however, see cycle of reincarnation).  Syn. raster
   blaster.
