Hi Jeffrey,
I think it's an Altera Cyclone III EP3C25E in there.
There's a micro controller on there too ARM AT91SAM7S56.
I'm not sure if there are the necessary "hooks" on the unit to do TV standards conversion, it has a VGA output, that's about it.
I did use this PCB for an MSc University project though, which might be closer, it has a composite and RGB input and a VGA output, I was using it to track targets in real time based on colour (from a normal PAL or NTSC CCD camera).
What kind of inputs and outputs would be required, normally that's the hardest bit, once it's in the digital world that's the easy(ish) part using Verilog or VHDL.
My first job on a sandwich degree was with Alcatel in France using Xilinx Logic Cell Arrays (the forerunners to FPGAs) where the input was a schematic, rather than RTL.
Cheers,
Martin
