Technical details and manufacturing context for Scan Converter / Rasterizer Core

Definition
A specialized processing core within a rasterizer system responsible for the fundamental scan conversion process, which transforms mathematical descriptions of shapes, lines, and curves into discrete pixel data by determining which pixels should be illuminated or colored to represent those graphical elements on a raster display or in a bitmap image.
Working Principle
The core receives geometric primitives (points, lines, polygons) with associated attributes. It performs scan-line algorithms or other rasterization techniques to determine pixel coverage, applies interpolation for attributes like color and texture across the primitive, and outputs a stream of pixel fragments with color, depth, and other data for subsequent processing stages like fragment shading and blending.
