A Processing Amplifier,
or Proc Amp for short, is circuitry to apply changes to the
incoming video to make sure it meets specifications. Video
recorders, both cameras and decks, have slight differences in the
signal and even such minor influences as temperature and humidity
can make slight changes in a device's record output from one
session to another. The proc amp allows you to restore settings
based on a known signal pattern such as color bars. Used along
with Toaster Scope, you can quickly make sure you are capturing or
broadcasting perfect video. The Video Toaster DX-1301(top left)
brings a recognizable rack-mount piece of gear to your desktop,
offering Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, U and V Offset and
Gain controls.
Nearly 70 individual parameters can be set in
the Advanced panel (bottom left), with real time viewing of every
change in Toaster Scope and Toaster Vision. These fine-tuning
modifications can be applied to either a single input, or you can
make Global changes to all of Video Toaster's inputs at the same
time. This advanced panel also allows you set up and then save any
setting as your System Defaults. Should any tweaking session not
bring the desired changes, you can instantly restore your default
settings. The full-sized DX-1301 is interchangeable with the more
compact DX-1201. With a single mouse-click, have more screen space
to load additional Toaster modules on the desktop.
