Video Display Processor (VDP) is a name commonly associated with bespoke graphics processing units created by Sega for use in their video game consoles and related arcade machines. Unlike other microchips used in Sega's consoles, VDPs were usually created by (or under guidance from) Sega themselves and are typically unique to the system they were designed for. Like all GPUs, VDPs assist in the process of rendering video game graphic data onto a television screen.
A number of VDP integrated circuits exist:
- Sega VDP — used in Mark III and Master System consoles, and System E arcade system
- Sega 315‑5313 VDP (Yamaha YM7101) — used in Mega Drive console, and Mega-Tech, System C and Mega Play arcade systems
- Sega 315-5548 — used in Mega-CD console
- Sega 32X VDP — used in 32X console
- VDP1 — used in Saturn console and ST-V arcade system
- VDP2 — used in Saturn console and ST-V arcade system
