How many Amiga Video Toaster Users?
« on: March 29, 2011, 12:22:35 AM »
We are seriouly considering making more of our Digital Video Effects available for the Amiga Video Toaster. Most of out effects currently require a TriCaster, VT[5] or SpeedEDIT. But before we can invest the time and resources into this we need to know how many active Amiga Video Toaster owners are left? If you don't mind please take a sec to answer our poll.

Best regards

DiscreetFX Team

All you need is an expansion kit that adds a video slot. NewTek had to sell to A1200 owners when A4000T machines became illegal to manufacture.

Yes, sadly the Video Toaster on any platform is no longer a shipping available new product.

Welcome to the cool kids club.

@orb85750

Your the first one that has mentioned having it setup on the A1200. How well does it work and which bus extension board did you use?

Don't know if it's worth it, we use the Video Toaster 4000 on a A4000T. I guess something is worth what your willing to pay.
