Once upon a time there was a company that made a device called the LightRave for all models of Amiga. This is about all I could dig up at a glance. For the linkshy it was a dongle you plugged in to any Amiga to allow you to use Lightwave, which at the time was tied to the Video Toaster hardware.
It had a few features that the VT didn't, like allowing 24-bit images and animations (the Toaster apparently did fewer? 12 or 16 bit?), Full Screen Preview on all amigas, etc.
Anyway aside from fooling whatever Amiga you had (and apparently any amiga could use it - from a 1000 to a non-toasterized big-box Amiga) into thinking you had a VT, I wonder what specifically was inside of it.
I've wondered that as well, the thing is pretty well made/sealed up. Not willing to cut mine open
to find out.
