- most instructions executed in one cycle
- fully programmable
- memory
- 96 kB, 24 bit SRAM, expandable to 192 or 384 kB
- dual ported, addressable by both the DSP and Amiga - when the Amiga is accessing the memory at full speed, DSP is slowed down by 10% maximum
- one half of the memory can be addressed in program and X data space, the other half only in Y data space
- zero-waitstate, 25 ns
- audio
- Crystal CS4215 audio codec connected directly to the DSP's serial bus

- I/O
- one of the DSP's serial port is for the audio codec, the other is used for RS232
- all remaining I/O lines are used for the parallel port
- serial baud rate is internally divided from 625000 bps, delfser.device rounds the requested baudrate to the closest available rate - setting a rate of 115200 results in 125000 bps
- MIDI rate 31250 matches exactly, with a divider of 20
- parallel port is similar to the Amiga's port, just used by delfpar.device

- 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
Manufacturer Microdeal, UK | Date 1993 | Amiga A600, A1200 | Interface PCMCIA |
- framegrabber and sound sampler
- grabs 160×160 images with 16 gray levels at up to 30 fps
- resolutions up to 640×512
- can save images with 64 grey levels
- grabs colour images with the Microdeal ColourMaster
- can save with 256 colours or HAM8
- composite video input (RCA connector)
- brightness and contrast knobs on the back of the unit
- 8 bit stereo sound sampler
- digitises audio and video simultaneously
- stereo audio input (2× RCA connectors)
- connects to the PCMCIA port
Manufacturer Digital Audio Design / IVS, USA | Date 1994 | Amiga A2000, A3000, A4000 | Interface Zorro II | Autoconfig ID 2112 / 191 |
- 16 bit stereo digitizing and recording and playback
- half duplex
- 64x oversampling
- frequency response of 10 Hz to 20 kHz
- dynamic range of 85 dB
- eight sampling rate: 48, 44.1, 32, 29.4, 24, 22.05, 19.2, 17.64 kHz
- internal SMPTE 24 / 25 / 30 fps time code sync
- pair of stereo I/O jacks to record from any line level audio source
- during recording the software allows adjusting the input gain over a span of 22.5 dB whereas during playback it spans 46.5 dB
- built in filtering eliminates aliasing distortion
- audio editing functions: cut, copy, paste, mix
- uses AIFF16 stereo file format
- the mixing function provides the left and right channels with six separate gain controls having a +/-32 dB range for both input and output files (these adjustments allows to control the balance of the mix)
- optional RTX real-time effects extension board
- AD2105 DSP chip and a 256 kB buffer
- reads and writes SMPTE time code LTC, VITC, MTC (MIDI Time Code) versions - burn time code windows onto incoming video for work prints
- in addition to SMPTE lock, it provides SMPTE cue lists for timed playback of audio clips
- adds multi-track capability to Wavetools
- mixing in real-time, up to 8 tracks
- realtime effects such as flange, echo, slapback, EQ, etc
- accepts composite NTSC or PAL video for VITC and line level audio fot LTC
- AHI driver
