HELP?
Matt,
From your description, it sounds as though you have the perfect scenario to use
keyed graphics from the A1000. Making sure the unit is properly genlocked
(Supergen connected to the A1000 and genlocked to the same source as the
Toaster) either Upstream (brought in as a video source to the Toaster), or
downstream (running the Toaster's program output into the Supergen's video
input).
If using the A1000/Supergen in the upstream configuration, you could do some
very exciting effects such as your own anim transitions with the keyhole effect
in Toaster 2.0. You could also use the Toaster's luminance keyer to super your
graphic overlays so long as they have all black or white backgrounds. The
difficulty here would be the restriction of any video source to the Supergen
other than a sync source or video image that was time case corrected and
genlocked to the same source as the Toaster.
In the downstream configuration, you could overlay your anims or dissolve up
the background colors using the Supergen's faders.
As far as getting the RGB output from a Toasterized Amiga out to another
encoding devce is concerned. Sorry, NO CAN DO. I have tried using a pro encoder
to do the job, and it won't fly. Evidently the Toaster does something to the
rgb signals when plugged into the internal video slot that prevents you from
tapping into them.
