COPPER NOP

The primary purpose of the COPPER NOP instruction is to wait some time doing nothing during copper list execution, and synchronized with the television's video display.

A copper list is a sequence of special instructions that the processor executes independently of the main execution. These instructions are programmed to execute in sync with the video signal, typically when the television's video display reaches a specific horizontal and vertical position on the screen.
