Item Description:
  • This listing is for the Combo of the NewTek Video Toaster 4000 (tested working), the Video Toaster Flyer (untested), and 2 Time Base Corrector boards (untested).
  • Optically in MINT condition
  • Specifications from Amiga Resource CX:
  • NTSC only non-linear editing system
    broadcast quality, tapeless nonlinear editing system for the Video Toaster and Video Toaster 4000
    requirements:
        Video Toaster with v4.1 software
        a SCSI 2 drive for Lightwave recording
        three SCSI 2 drives for A/B roll editing - two for video, one for audio
        input from video tapes must be time base corrected
    compresses and plays back video in realtime
    true broadcast quality - 60 fields per second, full overscan 752×480
    internally works with D2 data - no D2 / composite transcoding
    proprietary coporession method: Video Toaster Adaptive Statistical Coding (VTASC):
        relies on limiting the video signal (i.e. dropping to Beta SP quality) instead of lowering picture quality as do JPEG, MPEG, WaveLet
        no visible pixelization, artifacts show as video "noise" instead of jpeg "blockiness"
        by using faster drives, lossless D2 quality can be achieved
    three SCSI buses (two for video, one for audio), each bus can handle 7 SCSI drives (21 total)
    two serial ports to control serial-capable VTRs
    the SCSI and serial ports can be routed outside of the computer with the so called Octopus cable
    video:
        video input to the Flyer is provided via the connecting internal ribbon cable from the Toaster, as is video output
        14.3 MHz sampling rate
        8 bit quantizing
        8 MB buffer
    audio recorder / mixer:
        ADSP2115
        digital inputs
            video disk A and B, left and right
            audio disk A and B, left and right
        analog, unbalanced left and right RCA inputs and outputs on the card's backplane
        64 kB memory
        20 MHz clock rate
        16 bit sampling at 44.1 kHz
        64x oversampling ratio A/D converteR
