Less than 12 Hours for a new Bounty to Toast all other bounty's

I still don't get it. Maybe i'm not reading properly.. But suppose you get some FPGA reincarnation of a Toaster unit, and suppose you get the software to work with it. Would you also manage all the in/out stuff that goes with it? Will you still have the same level of connectivity to external video sources-monitors etc? Will a TBC finally become unnecessary? Finally, will we ever have the same joy of using a darn genlock with our "new" platforms like we did with our cheap Amigas back in the day?
I think if someone could build an interface that would allow you to utilize youre existing genlocks on NG and AROS machines, it'd be a lot more fun!

Toaster/flyer should not need TBC for stable digital source.  Genlock also irrelevant here, right?

Pyromania: OK, I'm gonna call you on this.....

I have Always needed a TBC for DVD's when I had my 4000T/Toaster/Flyer/PAR system....and a box that disabled Macrovision... otherwise no viewable picture...

What was I doing wrong? Only my cheap little video camera worked without a TBC....

I have heard of such things too.  It may depend on your equipment.  What good is a PAR board in this system?  (Isn't it redundant?)

Umm, not so much. I have and use Hi8 and SVHS cameras, and even have a MiniDV camcorder with no digital outputs. I will keep using what I have until it falls apart. I have plenty (understatement) of other uses for the money required for replacements, and what I have gets the job done. I'll bet I'm not the only one.

Me too.
