Live Production Environment
With Video Toaster™ [2], NewTek continues the proud tradition
it began more than a decade ago when it created the Desktop
Video industry. All creative limitations are now eradicated
with this latest, Windows 2000-based production powerhouse.
Video Toaster [2] brings a never-before-seen collection of tools
ready to meet the needs of editors, technical directors, and
artists. No other application offers the breadth of tools and
raw, real-time control over creation that Video Toaster [2]
brings you. Live switching of component, Y/C, composite, SDI
and Firewire sources is seamlessly tied into creation and playback
of CG, animated overlays and bugs, cueing multiple decks and
much more. |

Real-time, Multi-format
Editing
“Fast” “Friendly” and “Fun”; the
sort of accolades that ToasterEdit™
is earning. This real-time multi-format editor allows you to
focus on content without worrying about formats, aspects, compressed
or uncompressed. The speed of Storyboard, the precision of Timeline,
or both at once. Use the interface that works best for the project
at hand. DV, AVI, JPEG, TGA, MJPEG, MPEG-2 and uncompressed
can all play back within a project in real time, with real-time
keyframeable color correction applied to any clip. Multi-format
friendliness means you spend more time creating and less time
converting while ToasterEdit’s subprojects let you turn
complex segments into a single virtual clip. Layer upon layer
of picture-in-picture can be created with ease. |

Digital Content Creation
Sophisticated projects require far more pre-production than
simply importing clips; there is the need for lower-thirds,
animated graphic elements, and video layers. Video Toaster [2]
is a professional TV Studio-in-a-box with video painting and
2D animation features found in Aura™
[2.5]. Creativity is the only limit, with high-end features
as pixel tracking and color isolation at your command. When
you need to get three-dimensional, LightWave
Express is ready to transform your client’s logo
into tangible beauty, and fly it through all realms of time
and space. If you’re not skilled in the ways of 3D animation,
then sit back and let FXMonkey™ do all the work for you.
This wizard walks you through scene creation, with professional
results to keep clients coming back for more. |

Live
Switching
SX-8 offers 8 Y/C inputs and up to 24 composite inputs,
with all inputs internally frame-synced. This means you can
use any camera source, without the need for dedicated genlock
out.There’s no limit to what you can switch. Live camera
sources, digitized clips and graphics cued up in the DDR, or
even physical decks controlled via the Toaster Xternal Control
are at your command while you switch 3D DVE’s, overlays
and key in real time, all the while keeping an eye on the show
with multiple ToasterVision displays. |

Tight Integration
Video Toaster [2] is software-based. There is no reliance
on proprietary chips, other than the computer’s processing
power. What this means for you is a steady stream of new features
and upgrades coming from NewTek with a simple download or CD
install. As computers continue to get more powerful, your Video
Toaster is ready to take advantage of every bit of that new
power, meaning your production tools continue to get faster. |
