From the project

tubes

td-rgbinput is a replacement RGB analog path, providing the color controls between the RGB input and the final amplification stage on the neck board of the CRT.

Most consumer sets use an integrated RGB amplification IC, however none of these are still in production. Thus, this PCB was designed to instead use modern discrete amplifier components.

The primary challenge of the board is providing the global gain control across all 3 channels. This requires a voltage controlled amplifier, which is a difficult circuit to create when cross channel matching is desired.
