#Video Toaster substitut?
One of the rigs we use is an Amiga 2000 with a New Tek Video toaster. We mostly
use it for a switcher and character generater. 3DS rel.3 has replaced
Lightwave for us, but frankly I find deck to deck editing just fine for our
purposes (we're real low tech, no time time code, almost exclusively VHS
output, but we do have SVHS and Hi-8 decks and cameras)
I might be able to find some "obsolesence" funds to replace it. And this would
be an opportunity to get a PAR (or maybe a MAX). Can any body suggest the
boards (Including the PAR) that I might use in an Intel box set up that would
let me accomplish:
-Frame by frame video capture for later out put as video or flics
-gererate titles
The toaster is a great board and I dont expect to replace all of its functions,
but I'd really like to have a PAR or MAX onto which I could transfer animated
output from our Amigas, Macs, and Intel PC's.
I was thinking a 90 MHz pentium, PCI bus, 32 Megs RAM, video board???, NTSC
capture board???, Max or PAR.
Any help would be appreciated, my goal here is to duplicate the Amigas's
NewTech Character Generator (not necessarily do equivalent switching or try and
do full non-linerar editing), get a PAR or MAX so I can see what 24bit
animation really looks like, (and have another box to network with 3DS (big g).
