More accurately, D2 is a tape format based upon digitized composite video
sampled at a 4x subcarrier rate (14.3MHz). Digital composite video can be sent
in parallel (DB25 connector) or serially (BNC connector). While the Toaster
_does_ have the digital video in about the correct format, it lacks the
"housekeeping" signal components H- and V-sync. The Toaster also lacks the I/O
drivers for digital video.
I understand NewTek will be releasing some of the technical details soon so
that third party developers can provide such interfaces (providing there is any
user interest).
