	Does anyone know if it's possible to write
a program which directly controls a Video Toaster,
ie, does the Toaster come with a documented interface or
a subroutine library which allow you to bypass NewTek's
user interface?

	For the application I have in mind, we would like
to use an Amiga and Toaster as a video effects server.
The parameters for an effect would be calculated on another
machine and then sent over Ethernet to a process running
on the Amiga and controlling the Toaster.

	Thanks for any help. I've seen NewTek's brochure
but it doesn't answer this question.
