A team was setup at the company I work for to investigate the implimentation of a high speed digital video system. The system would be activated when a break on a paper machine was detected, it (the video system) would then record the event digitally for playback and editing later. Would a Video Toaster system with something like Newteks new non-linear editor work for this application? If so, what kind of setup would I need? Money doesn't seem to be an object 🙂 and they would like to have a few video cameras at different positions to record the break. Thanks in advance!

If you want 7 minutes or less of recording time you can use an Amiga (2000, 3000, 4000) and a PAR card/TBC-IV combo. It can be trigered by a contact closure on the mouse port. All you need is a detector to close the circuit. Approx. Prices: PAR $1500. TBC-IV $800. 1.6 Gig Hard Drive $1250. ——- $3550. Plus the price of the Amiga. Daniel Wolf of MegaGem (an Amiga developer) can give you current prices, availability, and great service. His CIS account number is 70250,626 or you can call him at 805-349-1104.
