Newtek started out with the Amiga to build a Video toaster 2000 in 1991 and then in 1993 came out with the updated Video toaster 4000 for use in the A4000 and then the non liner VT Flyer that I use still today in 1994. Newtek only recently in 2001 made the toaster available to the PC market.
No the PC toaster was released in 1999.
his happened in 1999 with the introduction of the new Video Toaster® - a complete uncompressed digital video production studio. The new Video Toaster® is designed to take advantage of the incredible improvements in the processing speed of today's PCs. Because of this unique approach, NewTek is able to exploit all of the available computer power to deliver amazing video production results at an unprecedented price.
The VT[2] was released in 2001.
The Amiga toaster debuted in 1990.
This goal reached fruition in October 1990, when NewTek shipped the Amiga Video Toaster®. The Video Toaster® evolved from a simple premise: provide all the tools necessary to create broadcast-quality television in a single, accessible device. Not surprisingly, the established broadcast video industry greeted the Video Toaster® with skepticism, at best. Despite these marketing challenges, the Video Toaster® caught on with an enormous range of people who shared a desire to "make TV". It literally replaced hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment for $5,000, and put sophisticated skills and tools into the hands of "average" people - from high school students to professional event videographers.
