Video Toaster

The NewTek Video Toaster is a combination of hardware and software for the editing and production of NTSC video on personal computers. It comprises various tools for video switching , chroma keying, character generation , animation, and image manipulation .

It was first released in October 1990, and initial versions were heavily based on the Commodore Amiga computer system, using the video-friendly aspects of that system's hardware to deliver the product at an unusually low cost. It was available as a plug-in card for Amiga systems. It quickly became popular, as the Video Toaster plus an Amiga allowed one to replace $100,000 worth of equipment with about $5,000 worth of equipment.

Later iterations of the product use IBM-compatible systems and work with the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Video Toaster is made by NewTek. The first wire-wrapped Video Toaster was designed by NewTek engineer Brad Carvey.

In 2004, the source code for the Amiga version was publicly released.
