This is a little confusing since composite implies a composite NTSC
signal (ie RGB encoded into Luminance + colour subcarrier ).
Your VCR will accept such a composite NTSC signal. Do you mean that
the camera puts out RGB or luminance and colour difference signals (I & Q)?
If so there are modulator chips available to develop the compsite signal.
