Analog NTSC video is encoded into 59.94Hz frames. If you set the high-pass cut-off frequency too high, you will see a shift in the reference luminance level across the upper left to lower right diagonal of each frame. The coupling capacitor value is determined by the transmission line impedance for long cables, or the receiver load impedance for localized circuits. There are video line drivers that use feedback to correct for a certain amount of DC drift, allowing smaller than normal capacitor values to be used. Steve.
