CTC210/211 Introduction
The CTC210/211 is the latest digital chassis designed by Thomson to compete with the ever-changing HD monitor and HDTV markets. The CTC210/211 uses a Scan Rate Converter (SRC) De-Interlacer to allow 1H interlaced sources to be displayed at 2H progressive scan. The deflection circuit will accommodate 1080i (2.14H) "native" scan to support ATSC and 540p sources; however, the HD input will only synchronize at 33.75kHz (2.14H). The CTC210 is a direct view chassis capable of driving the new "TruFlat" CRTs, while the CTC211 is used for projection TVs. Being related to the MM and DTV chassis, the CTC210/211 has a similar chassis layout. The I/O board has the same layout as the MM and DTV with fewer parts. The main board is also similar and has fewer parts. What's new are the Scan Rate Converter (De-interlacer) and the Diode Modulator. The Diode Modulator is only used for the TruFlat picture tubes. The CTC210/211 is not just a HD monitor but a NTSC television with both PIP and Main tuners as well. (PIP is available with NTSC signal sources only.) Digital convergence found in the PTV (CTC211) has not changed from the MM or DTV chassis family.

Capabilities
The CTC210/211 are considered High Definition (HD) monitors. This means that when using the CTC210/211 with an external HD set-top box like the DTC100, the CTC210/211 can display HD signals. This new chassis can also be used with progressive or anamorphic DVDs. There are two component hookups, standard Y Pr Pb and RGB. The RGB hookup uses a special adaptor cable connected to the High Resolution input. This High Resolution input is also where the DTC100 connects. A 16:9 screen mode selection, via the customer menu, allows a 16:9 image to be displayed on the 4:3 screen. This is also known as anamorphic. For more information on this, see the section Anamorphic Mode.
