Betty, Excuse me for jumping in here. Your question regarding BT <Is it true that with Toaster 3.1, they would no longer need the Broadcast Titler?> I would say that although Toaster 3.1's CG is a tremendous improvement over the previous CG version, it would NEVER replace BT. I have a full blown Toaster edit suite and still use BT every day. BT's line transitions and page effects alone are worth the price of the package, the fonts are still some of the best around but cannot be scaled to large sizes as the new Toaster CG. I have BT installed on another Amiga and pass the Toaster's program output thru the genlock of that other Amiga so that re-booting is not an issue. With the low cost of Amiga's (a used 1000 w/genlock is about $400, a 2000 w/genlock about $600) I would suggest that perhaps you might want to investigate adding another Amiga to your system., If you should decide to opperate your system in this way, I would also suggest a passive video routing switch in order to bypass the other Amiga when not needed. This will retain more of the original signal quality. Of course, you could spend more money on a high quality genlock for the second Amiga, this would keep the signal loss to an absolute minimum.
