Does anyone know of a convenient way to remove the sync pulses from
a NTSC video signal?

I designing a video frame grabber and am having a problem removing
the sync pulses from the video signals.  I have DC restored the blank
level of the signal to ground and need to remove the sync pulses
before I digitize the signal.

The Micropower ADC I am using does not like any input values below
ground.

Any help or information I get would be greatly appreciated.

Please try to e-mail any responses. I will summarize if warranted.

Thanks.
