It seems I don't know what term to Google in order to find information on how an NTSC or PAL signal works.
I'm thinking of trying a video overlay project, and I'm pretty sure it's futile to do everything from a microcontroller without a video overlay ASIC (or a Parallax Propeller which seems to have that stuff built-in). But I'd still like to know what's going on.
EDIT: Yup, everyone seems to either use an ASIC or design one from scratch and implement it in an FPGA or DSPs...whew, that's daunting.
