If you try to pass NTSC video signals through MOTM (or any other) audio
processing modules, they will act as severe low pass filters. Maximum
bandwidth is maybe 100 Khz. This is enough to pass vertical and
horizontal sync signals (60 Hz and about 15Khz respectively), possibly
intact enough for some monitors, but there won't be much picture
resolution and probably no color. You need 6 Mhz bandwidth for video.
Other issues would be that video drivers expect a 75 ohm load (not 100K
like MOTM inputs). And the signal levels are 1 to 2 V p-p. It's been a
while since my video synthesis days. Back then I built voltage
controlled video processors, with CV inputs being compatible with MOTM,
but signal paths designed for NTSC video with sync being stripped off
and added back after processing. I worked with David Jones.
