Color Television Interface Adapter

The Color Television Interface Adapter (CTIA) is the graphics chip used in some early Atari 400/800 home computers. The chip is the successor to the TIA chip used in the Atari 2600.CTIA was replaced by George's Television Interface Adapter (GTIA) in later revisions of the 400 and 800, and in all subsequent members of the Atari 8-bit family. No CTIA-equipped Ataris were shipped to Europe. By 1981, all Atari computers were equipped with the GTIA chip. The GTIA chip was also used in the Atari 5200.
