- editing controller
- controls the Video Toaster switcher and up to three professional VCRs on a V-LAN network
- can control other switchers via RS-422 or general purpose interface (GPI) triggers
- the V-LAN Universal Control Network is simply an RS-232 protocol adapter that uses device specific software drivers allowing control of VTRs or other devices via a 9 pin RS-422 serial connection
- controls the timing of all audio and video special effects (chroma effects, character generator, keyer, etc.)
- automatic assembly of the edit decision list (EDL)
- supports EDLs from other editing systems in the standard CMX format
- zero frame accuracy
- interfaces through Arexx commands with the Toaster
- there are many versions of the AmiLink hardware (Pro, CI, CIP), the main difference between them is the number of V-LAN transmitters/receivers
- VM-T (V-Lan master controller, 5 BNC) + VM-TRR (three video deck controllers, 2 BNC, 3 DB9)
- VM-T (V-Lan master controller, 5 BNC) + VM-TR (two video deck controllers, 2 BNC, 2 DB9)
- VM-TRR (V-Lan master controller + two video deck controllers, 5 BNC, 2 DB9)
- the master controller communicates with the Amiga through the Amiga serial port
- the software is protected by a parallel port dongle
