Abstract
A circuit for correcting raster distortion on a CRT display screen. Horizontal distortion is corrected by overscanning and providing complementary modification of the time delay and data rate at which digital video data is supplied to the CRT during each scanning line. The video data for a given scanning line is stored in a line store, read-out therefrom being controlled by a microprocessor programmed to determine the necessary time delay and data rate of such read-out. Vertical distortion, affecting scanning lines in the vicinity of the top and bottom of the raster, is corrected by storing in a multiline store the video data for all such scanning lines. The same or a further microprocessor is programmed to re-assign the video data for pixels on each of such lines to vertically corresponding pixels on others of the scanning lines, such re-assignments being complementary to the vertical distortion of the original scanning lines.
