NTSC Connection

Hello Everyone, I am hoping someone can help me with setting up an NTSC video input to an FPGA (specifically a Cyclone II via Sparkfun.com). I'm wanting to do some image recognition on the FPGA...

you will need an analogue to digital converter that converts video signals, and then a d to a for the output. NTSC is an analogue format that an FPGA cannot read directly.

What are you planning on doing with the video? if you intend to have a latency > a few lines, you will need some external ram as a video buffer too.
