#Flyer Inputs
Frank,
I keep reading threads that talk about loosing two inputs on the Toaster when
you use the Flyer. I think that all four inputs are still usable. I haven't
tried three and four yet, but I'll give them a try tomorrow.
The Flyer comes with a S-VHS input and an RCA video input, L & R channel audio
inputs and outputs, both RCA plugs.
At first I thought that you had to go into the Flyer via its own input, but I
found out that you can use the Toaster inputs.
The Flyer switcher shows video input, audio input and Toaster Output. You can
do a freeze frame in the Toaster and then punch the Toaster output button and
feed that freeze frame to the input of the Flyer.
I know that this may not seem to make sense, but at the time I did it there was
a good reason. I was trying to do a frame store. I had just plug in the Flyer
and a clint walked in and I need to take a frame from video and convert it to a
computer graphic.
I could not find the normal freeze and save button that is on the Toaster Setup
menu. So, I grabbed it through Toaster Paint and then grabbed it again in the
Flyer. It was the long way around to do it, since after spending most of
yesterday on the unit, I have learned almost all of the menus.
I am going to spend some time tomorrow figuring out the rest and I'll try and
be more concise.
