Abstract: Horizontal and vertical deflection windings in a deflection yoke coil assembly of a CRT (cathode ray tube) having stroke written or raster scan displays are driven by x and y analog deflection signals, respectively. Each of the x and y analog deflection signals are converted to x and y digital signals, respectively, sampled to provide x, y sample sets which are coupled to a digital x correction signal memory and a digital y correction signal memory, respectively. Geometric corrections are stored in the memories for each of a predetermined number of x, y signal set values which correspond, respectively, to a number of point locations over the CRT screen. The x and y corrections that are addressed from the memories are supplied to MDACs (multiplying digital to analog converters) and then to analog delay line filters which supply the x, y analog correction signals for summing with the x, y analog deflection signals, respectively.
