The heart of the Video Toaster desktop production studio is the Video Toaster Switcher. It replaces broadcast switchers costing tens-of-thousands of dollars. Simply point and click with the mouse on the T-Bar to perform cuts, fades, and wipes between any of 7 sources including 4live video inputs, 2 frame buffers, and a color background generator. Use the built-in luminance keyer for mixing video images like super imposing weatherman over a weather map.
LightWave 3D offers all time high-end features you need to produce network-quality computer graphics. Model, render, and animate videos in full broadcast resolution and 16.8 million colors. Everything from flying logos, scientific visualization, and the most sophisticated effects seen on broadcast television are now within your reach. LightWave even includes a large library of ready-to-use objects. For the first time, hundreds of advanced features are available on a desktop — yet LightWave is simple enough for novices to begin animating within minutes.
The Toaster has two 16.8 million color frame buffers with full television resolution. The Toaster's award-winning YIQ-encoded video output is the first on a desktop system to fully meet the stringent specifications for network-level broadcast television. One buffer can be loading while the other is shown on-screen for seamless live video presentations using Toaster effects. The separate Toaster Genlock Utility lets you overlay Amiga-mode graphics and animations on incoming live video or either frame buffer.
The first affordable CG that lets you add titles and text to your videos in 35ns broadcast Resolution (the same high resolution that the networks use). The Toaster’s true-color frame buffers, YIQ video encoder, and linear keyer produce sharp, jaggie-free text with perfect drop or cast shadows. ToasterCG offers high-end features such as transparent shadows, 16.8-million color anti-aliased fonts, variable outlines, 24-bit color backgrounds, smooth scrolls & crawls, and the ability to use digital effects to tumble, spin, peel, and warp text in real-time.
ChromaFX is a sophisticated color processor that gives you complete control of the brightness, contrast, and color of your live video image. You can design your own color effects with virtually limitless combinations or use any of over 50 included presets. It can alter-live video with color negatives, day-for-night, sepia-toning, monochrome, solarization, posterization, filters, color vignettes and other totally unique effects such as Line Art, Chrome, Zebra, Nuke, Cycling and more. Combine any ChromaFX with switcher transitions for stunning is the first broadcast-quality video paint system for under $10,000. It provides the sharpness, accuracy, and perfect color saturation that you expect from systems costing ten times as much. Unlike computer oriented paint programs, ToasterPaint is designed specifically for NTSC broadcast videographics. ToasterPaint has full integration for modifying and compositing Toaster frame stores, LightWave 3D and ToasterCG images. ToasterPaint includes powerful tools such as transparency, texture mapping, colorize, blending, resizing, rubthru, blur, range, lighten, darken, and smooth shading.
Freeze broadcast-resolution 16.8 million color video images instantly from any video source and recall them in less than two seconds. Grab 1, 4 or 8 fields of live video for rock-steady images or cycling video animation. Store up to 1000 frames (depending on hard drive). Grabbed frames may be used by ToasterPaint, ToasterCG, or LightWave 3D. Just point and click to use stored frames with Toaster digital effects for fast-paced multimedia presentations.
