There's an entire website dedicated to toasters? The delicious hot-bread making-kind? Oh wow.

From my last experience and complaints of others, the Toaster has way too much lag for professional use. Even if you delay the audio to match, depending on your application, this could have real issues in a live theatrical environment.

I also agree with the "too many jobs in one box" comment above. If you are trying to do some hires switching on a budget, look into some of analogway's products. They have scalers and hi res switchers. They also have a 3 input hires switcher / scaler.

true ,
the older systems did have a problem with lag, but on a beefy system and the new software thats not so much an issue. plus this new self contained unit, the tricaster, is awesome. i use the tricaster for live events, I-mag, and video playback. i have even used it for live tv broadcast.its truly awesome.

i just loves me some toaster.
