Steve,
I spoke directly with the NewTek folks about this. From what I can gather,
the Toaster is MUCH more sensitive to timebase error than a genlock,
possibly because it is processing the incoming video as data rather than
just syncing up to it and overlaying graphics. Thus, inputs must be either
directly from cameras or TBC's; no uncorrected hetrodyne VTR inputs. Also,
the first input is the "master" to which the others must be genlocked and
timed.
