Three vertical deflection windings of corresponding three deflection yokes that are mounted on three cathode ray tubes of a projection video are coupled in series through corresponding three connector pairs. Three horizontal deflection windings of the corresponding three deflection yokes are coupled in parallel through the corresponding three connector pairs. When any of the three connector pairs is left disengaged, a disabling signal that is indicative of a loss of a vertical deflection current in the series coupled vertical deflection windings is generated. The disabling signal is coupled to a corresponding video driver of each of the cathode ray tubes for providing beam current blanking to protect the screens of the tubes against a screen burn damage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A video display apparatus comprising: a first cathode ray tube having a first deflection yoke mounted thereon that includes a first horizontal deflection winding and a first vertical deflection winding; a second cathode ray tube having a second deflection yoke mounted thereon that includes a second horizontal deflection winding and a second vertical deflection winding such that, in normal operation, said vertical deflection windings are coupled in series to form a current path that includes said vertical deflection windings; a horizontal deflection circuit output stage for generating a corresponding horizontal deflection current in each of said horizontal deflection windings in normal operation; a vertical deflection circuit output stage for generating a vertical deflection current in said current path in normal operation; a first connector of a first connector pair having a pair of terminals that are coupled to said first vertical deflection winding and to said first horizontal deflection winding, respectively; a second connector of said first connector pair having a pair of terminals that are coupled to said horizontal and to said vertical deflection circuit output stages, respectively, such that when said first connector pair is engaged said horizontal deflection current flows in said first horizontal deflection winding and said vertical deflection current flows in said first vertical deflection winding and when said connector pair is disengaged, each of said horizontal and vertical deflection currents in said first horizontal deflection winding and in said vertical deflection windings, respectively, are not generated; and means coupled to said current path that is formed by vertical deflection windings and responsive to said vertical deflection current for generating a control signal that is indicative when said vertical deflection current is generated such that, when said vertical deflection current is not generated, said control signal is indicative of said connector pair being disengaged said control signal being coupled to at least one of said cathode ray tubes for blanking a beam current in said at least one of said cathode ray tubes when said control signal is generated for providing fault protection
