Last I looked at that sort of stuff - the video signal was a positive
voltage and the sync was a negative one, mixing the green+sync was a
matter of a simple or of the two signals. I believe that extracting
the sync is a matter of putting a diode around the right way.... in
fact, I _believe_ that feeding the green signal into both G and sync
probably won't hurt.
