Toaster stuff

[Bigbronc]

I had to tear all my stuff down, the van had to go into the shop, so all the amps and gear had to go in the toaster garage. but tuesday the toaster garage is back, that is if the van is fixed then.
 
 
Does any one know where the toaster splash screen is stored. It is on DV1 when I start the toaster then it goes away. can DV1 and DV2 have images stored as a file and loaded to that spot? How do you save images made on the toaster, when I click the floppy drive icon it takes me to a screen to save stuff, with DFO, DH0 icons but it will not let me name it of save it.

Great! This is what I wanted to see...

Work with such hardware, which I'm just beginning to learn my self.

Hey, that's cool! Maybe you could get together with Darrin and make a retro Doctor Who style episode out of one of his scripts!   :hammer:

Was that ComputerEyes, VideoByte, or another one?

Computer Eyes

What are those various devices?

NewTek DigiView ~ old issue
NewTek DigiView Gold hardware with motorized color wheel
Color Splitter for use with DigiView without color wheel
DCTV
Mimetecs FrameBuffer with frame Capture chip
PAR w/TBCIV
VLab internal
VT2000
VT4000/Flyer
OpalVision (Centaur Development went under befor the Roasterchip was produced that would enable frame grabbing) This was suppose to be the Toaster Killer.

I've been building a Toaster computer recently.  I have a VT4000, Flyer, AD516 for sound...I'm just still not sure what the rest of this equipment floating around is for  I think a short one-line description of what each portion of Amiga video production equipment is would be AWESOME, if someone were inclined to do it  For example....still not sure what exactly genlocking and syncs and things like that are for.

I will try to put something togther showing what each peice of equipment does, right now I need to get some install disk to build a toaster. Also my van is repaired and all the amps are moved outta the toaster garage. I will be setting it up again this week I hope. Some one wrote about toaster install disk sets but I lost the message so write me back?

I haven't made it to the post office yet.  All last week I was involved in union activities after work and then the flu hit me (after I took a flu shot!).  I'll try to get to it by the end of this week.

Robert, I hope you are feeling better. I know what you mean, I work late a lot myself. Do you know a lot about the toaster? I want to save some of the images that I created in the toaster and use them again. Does the toaster just output only video and is not able to save like a screen shot? Also, how do you adjust the sensitivity for the T bar, when I do Chroma overlays it wants to do all or nothing with just a small move of the T bar.
 
Chroma is when you overlay one camera over another, usually with one camara pointed at a green/blue screen. The green/blue screen can be removed by the Chroma key device that I hooked up to my Toaster. The Amiga chroma key needs a blue screen to work as it is hard-wired to remove blue.
 
Genlock is the ability to sync all devices to one black burst. With consumer VCRs and camcorders there is no way to control the black burst. Professional devices allow black burst input. (That is a whole other story.) The consumer devices must be synced to the same BB using a device called A time base corrector. This makes all input video arrive at the top left corner X=0 y=0 at the same time allowing other video to be overlayed just like the chroma key, only this uses the computer, e.g. Dpaint.:roflmao:
