-If you don't have at least one NTSC compatible video monitor or television
-with video inputs, you are in a world of hurt, but given that, here is what
-you can do:
-
-Capture live video from camera or broadcast television (not vcr tapes)
-for use in Toaster Paint, LightWave 3D, or as a still input into the
-switcher.
-
-Create award winning 3D animations in LightWave and save the images to disk
-until you get your own single framing vcr or ship them to a service company
-that will do this for you.
-
-Create stunning still images using LightWave, TPaint, and the frame
-grabber.
-
-Perform digital video effects and transitions on and between your still
-images and your video input (broadcast television or camera if you have
-one). 
-
-Use "The Art Deptartment" or some other suitable software to convert
-your Toaster images (IFF24) to standard Amiga format for viewing/distribution.
-
-Use ChromaFX to give your favorite TV show the most surrealistic look
-it has ever had.
-
-What else do you want to do with so little equiptment and cost?

Use it with my PAL TV with video input... :-(
Thank You for Your answer, it seems to be possible to use the Toaster
without much equipment, but the problem for me now is NTSC/PAL.

Has anyone heard if Newtek will manufacture a PAL version, and if so
is the fact, any guesses about when?
