It is *not* amazing, nor astounding.  In fact, it is abyssmal.  It is 
antiquated, and requires huge efforts to get so much information across
such a little bus. PC-based "video systems" leave a lot to be desired,
DVI included.

The VideoToaster is an Amiga, and though one could foresee yet-another-computer
interfacing with it, one would have to question its value. Data transfer, yes,
direct control, why?
