External TBC for Toaster 4000 system?

Hi Dave, well I am Toaster-less ATM, but from my experience, you'll need a TBC for virtually any source. The Toaster is very fussy about its' video feed. An outboard TBC should work fine, but currrently-made external TBC's are Very Expensive. Check pro A/V dealers, used stuff, etc.
Make sure you have a color video camera, or make sure your camcorder has a basic video out, you'll need it to AutoHue the Toaster.

Orb85750: TBH, I don't know about using digital cameras with the Toaster.. I didn't get a chance to try before my 4000T went amok... But I can say the Toaster will have issues with video for many reasons... e.g. DVD's being digital should be fine for the Toaster, but the Macrovision will mess it up.... DTV worked sometimes... The Toaster is just picky ....
Sigh..,. better edit the 4000T Toaster/Flyer system out of my sig....
