David, Pick up the current copy of Video Toaster User. Inside you will find a product review of the Prime Image YC++. The article also explains the advantages of using that device or others that process the Toaster's composite output before ot gets to your record vtr. There ARE advantages, but they may not be warranted for your particular situation, depending on your record vtr's input capabilities (Y/C in/out etc.) , yout Toaster platform, and what type of graphics you are outputting from Toaster. In most cases, the artifacts that are "filtered out" by these aftermarket devices, tend to show up in CG images. It should also be noted that the filtering is more noticable with the earlier version of the Toaster hardware. The newer Toaster doesn't seem to be as prone to the dot crawl and ringing of luninance signals associated with CG type graphics and "noisy" textures. Frank
