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?
