Dick Van Dyke wasn’t just a TV legend — he was an #Amiga & Video Toaster power-user 🎬💾
A look back at how he used #LightWave 3D for real TV & film production 👇

Does it look like this is a machine from 1993?

Bit of #retrocomputing here.

I finally decided to do something I'd been meaning to do for years - nudged by watching @janbeta starting the restoration of an #Amiga 3000T .

What I needed to do was remove the real-time clock battery from the mainboard in my Amiga 4000. I haven't used it in - literally - decades, and those soldered-to-the-board NiCd batteries (they're three small cells attached end-to-end) all leak, eventually. They can do a lot of damage to the board.

I think that I had been putting it off for years because I figured it had been so long there wouldn't be anything to salvage - that, plus it was tucked in an inconvenient place in storage.

Today I pulled the box out and looked at it. It's basically in mint shape, even stored in the original factory packaging, which is not bad for a machine from 1993. I hadn't even seen the machine since 1998 - the box was sealed when I moved that year, and I never unpacked it. I moved a couple more times since then.

It wasn't even dusty inside. It looks like it came out of the factory last week. It's the #68040 model and has some upgrades - RAM maxed out, a Video Toaster 4000 and a second hard drive added.

The battery did leak, but there's no significant damage to the board. The lacquer where it oozed has lost its shine, but that's about it. Removed it and cleaned the board.

I gather this might actually be worth something today? Last time I checked (20 years ago...) it wasn't.

i upgraded my vhs digitization setup and am finally archiving the pile of Amiga tapes i received at a VCF MW a few years ago... here's Toast and Coffee vol. 1 no. 2, a video magazine from 1992 about video toaster and related products

Where the hell did this come from?? Tiny channel with the most overkill setup; watch this not only for the history, but the completely analogue broadcast with live effects! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-cEIp0AcfM #amiga #retrogaming #videotoaster

Like Dick Van Dyke, use the AMIGA computer!

In the year 2024, it's a bit wild to think that, once upon a time, if you needed to add a text or graphic overlay to a TV broadcast, you needed a dedicated machine for the task, not just a plain old computer with the appropriate expansion card and software.

This all started to change in the 1990s with the introduction of the #VideoToaster, which could do this using an #Amiga (or, later on, #Windows) computer.

I wonder what people are using these days?

Fascinating - I had never seen this ever before in all my years with the Amiga.

Is this an amiga ball easter egg in Babylon 5?

It's on a printed backdrop behind a cafe. Normally it doesn't get seen from this angle (because the vista requires a forced perspective to work) but in "The Fall of the Night" the camera is awkwardly placed and this checkerboard ball is visible. It looks a lot like the boing ball to me!

Babylon 5 famously used Amiga products to make the cgi... so I want to believe...

#babylon5 #amiga #scifi #lightwave3D #videotoaster

A screenshot from the 1990s scifi Babylon 5. Behind the actors is a view of the inside of a space station with buildings and trees,. One building is a giant sphere with a checkerboard pattern.

Just *fantastic* promo for #VideoToaster from 1991.

Very 1991. Irreverent, surreal, impossible to say what's parody and what's played straight. Extremely corny, extremely cool. You can really see how someone looked at this and went "ok, that's it, I can make a space station for my TV show with this thing!"

Kiki Stockhammer, who was the spokesperson and hands-on demoed NewTek products at trade fairs and is featured everywhere in this demo, actually had a cameo in Babylon 5 later.

I'm sincerely impressed that you could do so much with this thing out of the box, I had no idea.
