My name is no one so I'll respond.

If what you are looking for is an RGB to composite video convertor
then you might try looking at the MC1377 from Motorola. This device
accepts analog RGB inputs at 1.0v p-p and composite sync then converts
it to composite video. If you have one of the three forms of digital
RBG then you would have to condition the analog RGB input signals 
but it should still do the job for you.

Hope this helps.
