Brian, Here's a few more questions: Does the FireCracker board have composite and RGB video outputs? Couldn't you output both signals to the Amiga monitor and switch between them? Couldn't you interlace your workbench screen in the Preferences under 1.3 ? What is the difference between overlay mode and other modes that the FireCracker uses? Does the Firecracker install in the Video slot? I read somwhere that since it's a genlock it would probably not work with internal genlocks such as the SuperGen 2000S,which is what I am currently using.Does the Fircracker work as a stand alone genlock with with programs like Pro Video or Deluxe Paint? If so is the quality of the genlock as good as the SuperGen? Do you mean you have to exit Imagine or Silver and boot a separate program to view a rendering in 24 bit. Is it posible to use the Video Toaster's framebuffer for 24 bit output of other programs.Could I build objects in Imagine or Silver,transfer them to LightWave to render and output through the Toaster's framebuffer.Or build and render in Silver or Imagine,then transfer the rendered files to the Toaster to output in 24 bit. I guess I need to do a lot more homework on all this before I invest.Thanks for the help,much appreciated! Brooks
