Default Composite video via RF modulator, negative image?

Composite video has negative sync.

Are you sure the channel tuning is correct?


Yeah I know composite video is negative sync - to the outside world -
but it _is_ conceivable that a manufacturer for some reason uses
inveted video internally. I know I've designed some gear that has
inverted video in some stages but of course is back to sync negative
when interfacing to other gear.
