| This press release is for July 14, 2008 not 2007.
LOL
Could someone please update the press release to the right year?

| Hmm.. HD3850 with 800, 32 bit stream processors, each with 16k L1 cache.. You think Amiga demo coders could use the 10*10*8 format for TV manipulation? 8)
Things could be very intresting?

| I guess my question is: how much potential does the video toaster code have? How far could it be extended, theoretically? How limited is the Toaster hardware compared to today's hardware?
I'm not attempted to marginalize the efforts; far from it. I'm just curious how much potential there is.

| Great potential in the software. Even the hardware is still kind of cool, it's a low cost realltime video switcher. Those still cost a lot on Windows & Mac. Here is a example of what the Amiga Toaster can do. This video also highlights the power of ToasterCG the focus of the first Instant Bounties.

| The problem is that there is a lot (and when I mean lot, I really mean *lot*) of ASM parts in the sources. A port would almost mean a rewrite :-/

| Please do not take this the wrong way chaps, however is the Toaster still relevant in today's video society? Surely everything produced these days is output at HD - does the Toaster support such resolutions?
Certainly, the Video Toaster was a killer piece of hardware and software in the early 90s, but for goodness sake, it's 2008 - who in their right mind would use those out-dated screenwipes and effects in a professional environment?
Cheers,
James

| First I never used it, however I think I can safely answer you anyway : no HD output is not supported in current version because it uses Amiga Chips and Amiga Chips does not support this.
On the other hand in the event of a port with chip dependency removing I don't see why you can't have higher resolutions (in the extend of supported ones supported by your GFX card of course).

| This is going to need someone who knows 68k assembly. I had a look at the source-code yesterday, and there's a huge amount of ASM code (like Abalaban said). That's just too much for me.
I really do want to write video editing software, but I'm likely to start from scratch.

| Hans you could look at some of the other code, like to the switcher. That is written in C.

| A few points to keep in mind.
There is a good amount of C in the CG.
The asm parts would need to be rewritten anyway. They pretty much look like the low-level hardware dependent stuff or color conversions that may/may not be needed.
It already has the option to build without a dependency on the Toaster, presumably for testing purposes.

Actually, that's mostly ASM as well. Incidentally, IZArc complains about a bad header for that archive.
Either way, whoever does on OVT will need some unserstanding of 68k assembly.

| The ASM code is very nicely organized, should not be hard to convert, just a big job that will take some time.
On the other hand the C code style is pretty bad.. as I see it..
