- The Toaster is required and not included in the Flyer base price, ie an
- extra 2 grand is required.
-
- If you don't have a Toaster why buy a Flyer, after all it is the Toaster
- that limits the quality of the Flyer. ie Composite video only (despite
- any Y/C add ons).
-
- The Flyer normally only sells to Toaster users who would like to try their
- hand at NLE.
-
- For non Toaster users the best buys would be a Broaster Elite or a VLab.
- Both offer Y/C as standard (the Elite offers YUV Betacam SP as standard
- also), and both are far easier to edit productions with. Vlab is the
- cheapest (Zorro II max 2.5MB/s video) and The Elite has by far the Best
- image quality (Zorro III max 8.5MB/s video).
-
- Of course I am an Elite fan.
