Video Toaster Then
NewTek chose the Amiga for its advanced graphics in the early 1990s. The monitor (right) displayed the videotape and Video Toaster software provided the controls. Analog signals from the tape were converted to digital, edited in the computer and converted back to analog to a second tape deck. (Image courtesy of NewTek, Inc.)
Video Toaster Now
This turnkey system from Varto Technologies is an example of a Windows-based VT[3] system. Varto combines the Toaster card and software with several CPU options, a specialized keyboard and Windows XP to provide a video production system that costs under $10,000. VT systems such as this are equivalent to high-end editing systems that cost 10 times as much. (Image courtesy of Varto Technologies, www.vartotechnologies.com)
