Nope, I think that you got that switched around.  RS-170A refers to an
NTSC-encoded composite signal.  You can use and encoder to take
component RGB signals and convert them into a RS-170A signal, but the 
RS-170 is definately an NTSC signal.  (Feb 89 iss of AV Video has a
short piece on RS-170A and RGB in the Q&A column)
