Hi, all...

	I'm a "EE in training" (Junior year...) and would like to find some
information on what composite TV siganals are made of.  What I really want to
do is to send data from a microcontroller to a TV, but I believe that using
composite video and a pre-made RF modulator module is the easiest way
to do this.

	Actually, if there are some nice chips out there that give you, say,
couple hundred by a hundred or so dots of resolution by just attaching
RAM on one side and an RF modulator on the other, I'd be happy to hear about
them -- the actual makeup of the composite signal wouldn't worry me as much,
then. 

	So, if anyone can make suggestions on chips or books containing this
kind of information, I'd appreciate you e-mail telling me where to find them.
Thanks for the help.
