Set both to use the hardware clock as GMT -- Jasen.

Neat, Linear/AD actually makes the thing I need all integrated into one chip, a 3-input video multiplexer + line driver: <https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Analog-Devices/LT6559CUDPBF?qs=hVkxg5c3xu%2FSkXiqmdItxQ%3D%3D> not much more than $1 in quantity, surprisingly.

Wow, magnetic tape or disc-file systems. I'm picturing one of those big cabinets with spinning tape mass storage for mainframe computers. Amazing it's still being made and in relatively large quantity, even. All transistors inside look to be NPN, maybe the design dates from the time when it wasn't cheap to put PNPs on an IC. problem is it's not really suitable for use as a buffer amp/line driving. I just noticed NJR seems to make a bespoke chip for that "and is suitable for low power design on downsizing of Car camera and CCTV." <https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/294/NJM2561_E-1375659.pdf> and includes the 6dB voltage gain to compensate for the termination divider action. The application is something like that, buffering the output of a video multiplexer into an isolation transformer. There's an EDN article on how to set the output impedance using feedback rather than in-line resistance but needs an op-amp type of amplifier that can have arbitrary gain: <https://www.edn.com/save-3-db-of-output-power-using-feedback-to-set-the-output-impedance/>

Differential gain and phase error, rather

Looking for a recommendation for a voltage-feedback op amp suitable for 
buffering/amplifying composite video signals, not a portable application 
so +5/-5 supply is OK. An amp that can drive 75 ohms directly is nice 
but not required I can always add a buffer. Something around $1.50 in 
quantity?

There's a lot to choose from and not everything lists differential gain 
and differential phase up-front so a recommendation would be nice
