I'm looking to get 2 board level TBC's for the Toaster and am somewhat overwhelmed by all the choices. Which ones are best? So far I think I've narrowed things down a bit. My main concern is to get the cleanest video possible. I'm editing with 3/4" SP decks and would like the TBC to accept the 3/4" dub signal. The Prime Image TBC/PCB seems to do this. Does anyone have any experience with it. They also make one with a "Comb Filter" which they call "The Full Broadcast Level" TBC. I was already to purchase a Prime Image and them the other day I read an ad about the Feral Effect TBC which does clean video compression. What's the story with this one? On a different note, I'm also looking for an editor for another edit system. The challenge is mixing a 5800/5850 with an EVO 9800 in an A/B roll configuration. For an Amiga based system I'm looking at either an Amilink (pretty expensive) or the Pride PIV-2001 (much cheaper). Any input. I also Sony has come out with an inexpensive A/B roll editor (not sure what it's called). Any input on this one? Can trigger Toaster effects. Thanks for any help.
