Even though i agree to Earx mostly, i wanted to
answer your initial question:
The VIDEL itself has no other graphic components.
It can't do Sprites by itself. It can do hardware
scrolling, either STE compatible in up to 8 bitplanes
or 2 pixel-wise in true colour mode without any
tricks.
The obvious advantage of the VIDEL is its native
chunky mode. Even though it massively hogs the
(rather slowish) ST bus of the Falcon, it makes
single pixel generation as in 3D engines or Doom
clones a lot easier and using the DSP sensibly,
the Falcon can do impressive effects.
The BLiTTER was primarily intended to keep the
Falcon STE compatible. If it had none, Paradox
demos wouldn't run at all ...
