generator ROM providing
MSB of address, with
bit defining which
character set is to
accessed during
character processing
for screen display
(ASCII or DEC
multinational)
Output from blank
circuit (developed from
CBLANK L) to clear
input of PIS converter
and attribute latch 4
at start of each
retrace period

output to CRT
controller generated at
T5 time
CRT controller output
to video output circuit
to be gated with video
data to define vertical
and horizontal sync for
composite video output
to optional slave
