Has anyone ever checked out one of these "chroma key" boards that plug into the Amiga and connect to the Toaster? If so, how'd it go? Is it possible to "simulate" a chroma key with the Toaster? Continuing to be curious, Luke

Luke, I have seen both th units out there work with the Toaster. The result was "ok"( minor amounts of artifactin). If you're fussy about image quality, see a demo then make your decision. The Toaster can only Luma key and to get a clean key you have to cut a matte and use the "art card" effect. Chroma Key, keys on a color, and Luma Key, keys on a brightness level. (apples & oranges) There was a good article in May 92 Amiga World on using the Toasters luma key with a matte. If you can't find it I'll be glad to copy it and send it to you. "Only Amiga can make it happen…"
