Can an 8052 derivative generate the RF output signal so that a screen is visible on, say, channel 3? This is more of a question regarding the RF signal than the 8052. I don't know enough about the structure of the TV signal to know whether a '52 could generate the signal. I don't even know the terms I should use to do a Google search to learn about the structure of a TV signal.

If the video could be generated by a dedicated '52 that would be awfully slick. If not, what kind of external IC would be appropriate to generate the video image?
