Any Toaster users in here?

Use SCALA to control the decks via the SCALA ECHO EE100 if your worried about SMPTE timing or whatever.

What if you're worried about MPEG artifacts tainting your Flyer video?  I can tolerate generation 2 deterioration more than I can tolerate MPEG'ing.  MPEG makes it look peeceeish.

Did you give up on buying some VT hardware then?

Oh no, not given up. I'm holding out for a price I can afford. It'd be a blast to use the Toaster again.

What can you afford?


Anyone else here interested in Video Toaster User magazines?

I also have other Amiga and a few Video related magazines I want to sell.

I just got my Toaster. We had one where I used to work and now I finally got my own, but it sit in a room for 5 years so after the first day the HD crashed then the mouse. I got WB re-installed but still need to get a mouse. We used the CG at the TV station I used to work at. It didnt have the Flyer. I cant wait to get mine up to par so I can play around with it.
Mine has the Flyer. Hope you find one or get the transitions you need. If I ever get mine up and running I would be glad to copy some of the organic transitions to some avi's and post them somewhere where you could get to them.

Oh man! I used to love reading VTU magazine. I was always looking for tips and tricks and tutorials.

As for what I can afford, well, I am a big poster on another forum and posted about the Amiga asking some of the old timers about the system and what I should look for. One of the nice members there offered me his 3000, once he digs it out of his closet. On the surface, it sounds like he'd send it to me for just shipping.

Once he finally gets around to it, if he wants a lot, I'll ping you again. For now, I'm hoping it's cheap!

Fair enough, let me know if you want to buy Toaster and Flyer cards for that A3000 you may be getting.  I have an extra set that I was keeping as backups.

Sweet! Thank you in advance. It's been a couple of weeks. But I'm certainly not going to rush this guy since he's being so nice.
