>Does an analog video synth basically consist of oscillators at high
>frequency going into a sync generator, 

Yes, oscillator signals would be mixed with a sync signal.

>and what exactly is a sync generator and how does it work.

Please get a book on video production, it will have a section explaining
cmposite video signal structure.
Or read this:

It will work, but you still need a sync signal to make the
monitor display a proper raster. Usually the sync is
fed to the monitor thru a separate input or mixed with the green signal.

>Any leads on an NTSC Video Interface Module?

I am trying to design one now. Stick around.

>Is there a videosynth DIY list?

Don't think so. Why don't you start one?
