Out of curiosity, why would you rather have a "PC" based machine? (by
the way, PC stands for Personal computer. PC doesn't mean IBM or clone).
 
Anyway, the Amiga's Video Toaster outputs exact broadcast quality. The
only thing is if you want to edit pre-recorded video's, you will need a
TBC (time base corrector) for the Toaster... but all for all, the
Toaster is broadcast quality.  Check out some of your local Television
stations and Cable stations. Many are starting to use the Toaster.  

There is always that "PC Based Toaster" setup, which is basically an
Amiga 2000 w/Video Toaster hooked up via parallel port to the IBM.  The
IBM is just used as the interface to the 2000 and Video Toaster (this
setup is just a marketing ploy by some companies, and adds no benefits
to the overall system, unless you're the U.S. government and need to
spend excess money!)
