Using a common "baseboard" design, the VCL-V is configured for 24-bit true color (VCL-V/24) or 8-bit (VCL-V/8) by installing a unique VRAM daughterboard. The VCL-V includes an 8-bit overlay. The overlay screen can remain static while the primary scrolls (or vice versa).

The 40 MHz TMS 34020 32-bit Graphics System Processor draws random points at a 10 Megapixel per second rate, and normal pixblt, pattern fills, and vector generation at up to 40 Mpix/sec rate. Hardware acceleration features include color and writemask registers, VFILL, and VBLT, and can give up to a 160 Mpix/sec drawing rate on a block write (8 bit/pixel).

An optional 32-bit input port allows the 34020 to directly copy data from the port into memory at about 20 Mbytes/sec.
