Ok, a first try, please tell if this exist... Also, should we use raster or maybe other terms ? Concepts : Raster, split raster, Raster lines or Scanlines ?

In programation, the raster is often referred as the act to modify the setting of inks between 2 scanlines.

This is a way to display more than the usual Video modes number of colours.

The time between the display of 2 Scanlines by the CRTC allow the CPU to order the Gate array to modify the setting of inks.

The screen display at 50Hz...The CPU (Z80) runs at about 4 MgHz.

So It has enough cycles between 2 scanlines to order this.

You can also use Split rasterto "actually" display 2 different screens, sometoimes with different Video Modes.
