- Well.. the Video toaster can't compare with the Matrox. The Toaster for
- one thing can't control any devices such as recorders. The quality
- between the two is very great. From my experience (a hands on demo at
- school -- we also have one by the way), I would say that the quality of
- the matrox far surpasses that of the toaster.. besides, anything with a
- "sheep wipe" ... well. you gotta wonder huh? <- The sheep thing is on
- the toaster by the way. =) I'll try to get you the phone number and
- address to the company as soon as possible.. (by Monday for sure). All I
- know right now is that they are located in Canada and it costs around
- $20K; the key word is around since the actual system that we have at
- school cost more around $25-30K.
-
- One more note.. the Matrox is capable of A-B-C rolls (two sources and 1
- recorder)
