Video In DE2 board

First I'd like to say I am a beginer to both fpgas and verilog. My knowlege constists of most of the basic concepts in verilog and I have had some practice working on some individual projects.

The project I'm currently working on involves me taking in as input a generic camera in the video in port. The camera is RGB NTSE. I searched everyone online but I couldn't find how to get the input from video in and output it on a vga.

Any suggestions on where I would even start would be greatly appriciated.

    After a while of researching, I have found some info about the build in tv decoder on the fpga. The user manual for the de2 board is very vague regarding this topic. What exactly do the TD_DATA do. Is it a stream of 8 bits from the camera? If it is what exactly do they contain? Moreover the composite video of the camera has three componets Y,U,V. How do those play a part in the singnal? Are they part of the TD_DATA?

    any help or direction would be greatly appriciated.
