<<So…. To do any kind of live video FX going through a Toaster you'd need atleast three decks (Vlab-Ms) of video.>> You mean…THREE Vlab-M boards?? Or do you mean 3 hard drives connected to one board? If it's 3 boards then I can see why it's difficult. <<The Flyers got two video channels that will play back simultaneously so it can use the Toasters FX live, but you still always gotta go to some kind of tape for output. Normally VHS…>>> I can see why the Flyer is a much preferred, but expensive solution for the Toaster. So when recording out, it has to be a tape? It can't be a CD-ROM, DAT, or another hard drive connected to the Flyer? Perhaps a Laserdisc player/recorder? I suppose the only way to keep the digital recording is to have a VLAB as well as a Flyer. Mix with the Flyer/Toaster and record out to the VLAB (or another Flyer). Now THAT would be one hell of a system (and expensive too!) Am I on the right track now? Waiting till Motorola decides to release that 68060.
