is there any way to turn NTSC color video into black-and-white while staying analog? i only have video cameras that shoot in color, but i want to turn the footage to black-and-white without doing it digitally in post-processing

Well theoretically all you would have to do is filter out/ignore the color burst signal, but idk how to accomplish that lol
If you've got equipment that outputs S-Video or component a simple way would be to only connect the luma signal and leave the chroma disconnected. I think you can plug the luma from a component output into a composite input, even, and it'll basically just show up as a monochrome signal.
With component, if it's the three RCA connectors like one would find on a lot of DVD players for example, basically you just would need to take the green wire and only use that one. With S-video, you'd probably need a cable that breaks out the din-style s-video plug into several RCA connectors, I am pretty sure such cables are obtainable since there are some 80s s-video computer monitors which take that as input.
In simple terms, basically you're just not connecting the colour signal.
the camera does output S-Video! i'll see if i can find s-video breakout cable
