Abstract

A video imaging apparatus comprises first and second cathode-ray tubes, each having an ultor electrode and a focus electrode. A power supply generates an ultor voltage, which may have a fluctuating voltage component produced by beam current variations, and which is coupled to first and second ultor electrodes of the first and second cathode-ray tubes. A high voltage amplifier generates a dynamic focus voltage component at a frequency related to a deflection frequency. A combining network combines the fluctuating voltage component and the dynamic focus voltage component to develop a combined, dynamic focus voltage. The combined, dynamic focus voltage is coupled to each of the first and second focus electrodes for developing from the combined, dynamic focus voltage each of a first dynamic focus voltage at the first focus electrode and a second dynamic focus voltage at the second focus electrode.
