Toaster to IP Series 4K With Todd Rundgren
By Jim Bask
When NewTek’s Video Toaster first arrived in 1990, it was a jaw-dropping moment as video professionals realized that you no longer needed an expensive SGI supercomputer to flip and spin video, create 3D animations, and other eye-candy video effects. The Toaster put a whole TV studio and post house on an Amiga computer for under $5,000.

It’s no exaggeration, although it might be a little clichéd, to say that we are currently enjoying a golden age of TV. Or, to be more precise, a golden age of content, with the advent of mobile devices creating more viewing options. Conventional broadcasters are upping their game to compete with new-kids-on-the-block Netflix, Google and Amazon, who in turn are investing heavily in original series production. Who knew? Despite fears about how the online interlopers might disturb the broadcast equilibrium, it appears that the entertainment industry isn’t a zero sum game.
