Thanks, Bill! I'll try to get the issue. Bob

Mac PICT to Toaster
Message #38992
Dear Fellow Toastmasters: I've had a Toaster 'Workstation' since January & use it in my post suite. Haven't yet upgraded to T2.0; haven't yet added an accellerator. My ONLY Amiga experience is with the Toaster, and I am unfamiliar with Amiga-specific standards (since the unit does not come with any…
Hi Frank – So what's been shakin' with your studio recently?? I've been up to the usual: commercials… If I may butt in here..in answer to Don's question, he'll need more than a BNC/F adapter…. The cable signal coming into his house is RF with SEVERAL channels. He'll need a…
Thanx…great idea! Yer tape just may be in my mailbox…didn't get the mail yesterday (Sat)….will let ya know. Later BV
Frank, I DO have the VITC cards in my 7750's…sure helps with some of the quick stuff I do. About the TALENT…(hehe)…here's the scoop: The check-cashing guy needed his spot like in 3 days, & I had nowhere to turn. While driving to the office, for SOME reason, I all…
Bob buttin' in here.. Frank , will the SFC work with my 7750's? Bob
Hi Frank: Yeah, looking to get it to 2.0 probably next week. I'll probably have a question or two (g). Looking forward to yer demo…I'll send ya a copy of the WMYY stuff & a "Tropical Plant Liquidation" spot when they're finished! Bob
Charles: Not sure about which magazines you're looking for. There are pro magazines (Like 'Post') and consumer mags like 'Videomaker' which have all run reviews. If you gave Glenn (prev msg) a call, he may have reprints of ones on specific equipment. Bob
Hi Frank- I dub all finished projects to 3/4" for distribution to stations. I have yet to find any stations with S-VHS equipment. It's really it pity, too, 'cause it would save a generation. I AM considering a 3/4" editor (that would be controllable from my Panasonic 80 controller) to…
Louis: Yeah, me too. But when you need 5,000 2- Color brochures with photos, ye olde mac/laser just can't cut it! I meant commercial stuff…not onesies twosies. Maybe you have an associate who uses carboness forms or such? Just a thought. . . Good luck, Bob
Hi Jonathan – Good to hear from you. I've been rally busy these last few weeks, we've been doing a lot of Hippo's stuff & now I'm working on 6 Ten Sec Spots for WMYY FM radio. Give me a call during the week sometime & we'll arrange a visit.…
Hi Charles: There's a good Panasonic A/V Pro/Industrial Dealer here where I live (Albany, NY area) who would ship to you. They are: Audio Visual Sales & Service 1664 Western Avenue Albany, NY 12203 (518) 456-5060 Ask for Glenn Lupien That's where I got my 7750's, controller & some other…

If you have an address/Phone # for The Breadbox, I'd sure appreciate it!
RE: Accelerator … Would you consider trading for $1,000 worth of printing?? Newsletters, Letterheads, envelopes, biz cards, brochures, raffle tickets, pamphlets, etc?? Bob Vann
Hi Frank – Have been seeing your posts in the NewTek area for some time. I have a post suite (Toaster, 2-AG7750, + 8-track audio/dbx, etc) & am making :30's for retailers in this area (NY Capital District) & in Miami. I may be interested in your TEK WFM…any possibility…
Peter, my only PERSONAL experience in my studio is with the 7750 (I have 2 of 'em). I'm not really sure about the cost of the M-II editor, but I think it's around $9,000. Have had no experience with the Hitachi piece. I DO however, have friends at a local…
Peter: M-II is a 1/2" component format cassette. The Manufacturer (Panasonic) claims quality maintained up to 9 generations and vastly superior quality to the color under 3/4" U-matic SP systems. It features an 8-bit built in TBC and elimination of the subcarrier crawl associated with 3/4" formats. It has two…
HI JONATHAN.. Bob in Schenectady, here. Can you tell me which vendors you've contacted for the Workstation? NewTek tells me that the closest ones are in NYC and Buffalo… I'd really appreciate the info – Thanx! Bob
Bill, the reason you don't yet see the Mac people here, is that NewTek is not shipping the Mac-Compatible workstation yet. . . AND much Mac software is just becoming available. Bob
Dear Steve: Disregarding your apparant hostility toward Mac owners, the reason I am interested in the workstation for the Mac is that I ALREADY HAVE a substantial investment in a Mac IIci system. 8 megs of RAM, plus a 25 Mhz clock speed. And software for the Mac to control…
Could you perhaps outline the additional effects that 2.0 offers? I was truly impressed with the existing ones, and am anxious to decide whether to wait or proceed now with a purchase. . .
#TOASTER PRICE
Message #28634
If it's of any interest to anyone, I spoke with Todd Cavanaugh at New Tek (Minnesota) this afternoon, and he informed men that the standalone Toaster workstation was STILL priced at $3995, but did not include the 2.0 upgrade. The MAC Toaster workstation is not yet shipping, but they expect…
