Broadcasting Telecasting (Jul-Sep 1959)

NOW! REDUCED RASTER FEATURE on UTILITY MONITORS! Improved versions of the Conrac "CF", "CK" and "CL" series utility monitors now being delivered include an important improvement — raster size reduction. This feature, previously available only on the most expensive monitors, permits operation at reduced picture size — showing all four corners — by simply changing two connections. Of particular interest to present users of Conrac Monitors is the fact that this new feature can be easily incorporated in any 70° Conrac Monitor manufactured since 1951. This includes all CB, CF, CK and CL models. Modification kit with complete instructions is available at nominal cost. Write for complete information. Conrac manufactures a complete line of monochrome monitors from 8 to 27 inches, the CH21B Color Monitor and an Audio-Video Receiver.
