DCTV Question for Amiga 2000

[marcfrick2112]

 Strictly speaking, the DCTV unit works with a number of apps. besides the DCTV software....   Scenery Animator, ImageFX, VistaPro, maybe others, I can't remember now. Using a program like Rend24, any graphics program that outputs 24-bit frames can be converted to DCTV frames or an .ANIM. Also, check Aminet for a few handy DCTV unils. I own 5 DCTV units, one for each Amiga

Hi Ami_Gfx: Nice bit of info there about DCTV and the Toaster, do you know if there is any workaround? I ask only because I now own 2 A4000's, and I deal with a video company with 'extra' Video Toasters, but worried about the DCTV/VT compatability, as you mentioned.....
Really the question is moot, for me ,at least...I am already down one Amiga monitor, don't you need 3 for a Toaster setup? Plus a TBC??

Feel free to PM me, or whatever.....just curious....

Very Good thread, here...

OK, @AmigaPixel: Well, If you try to get a 500 for your DCTV, at least try to get some mem. expansion beyond 1MB, and if possible, an accelerator...will make using dctv much nicer... I used my DCTV originally with an A500 030/50MHz, 32 MB RAM, worked quite nicely...

@AmigaDave: I think the game you recall was actually for the OpalVision card, never saw a game for DCTV, though theoretically there should be no reason it wouldn't be possible, IMHO.

Oh, and to whoever mentioned about why the DCTV was not more sucessful....original price was $495.00 at indroduction, just checked an old issue of .INFO... Wasn't the A500 about $500 retail itself?

Ridiculous, I just got a DCTV unit, software, and a non-working sound sampler for $4.99 on EBay....
