Figure 1-5. Antic Display Processor Pin Assignments

Graphics Television Interface Adaptor (GTIA)

The GTIA interfaces with the ANTIC processor on one side and with the video summation
circuitry on the other. Its primary task is to generate color and luminance signals from the
display information bit stream it receives from the ANTIC Display Processor.

Figure 1-6 is an illustration of the GTIA pin assignmens.
