This is taken from my copy of the Atari 800 logic.

comp video is sync + chroma + luminance

luminance ---> op amp --------+----+-----> comp video --> rf modulator
                              |    |
sync ---> op amp --> diode -->+    |
                                   |
color---> op amp --> 100pf -> 1k --+
