Professional Video under 32-Bit Windows™ Operating Systems

Alain Legault, Jean Lapierre, Louis Dionne, Tim Cherna

The PC and 32-bit Windows operating systems are quickly becoming the platform of choice for professional video, film and multimedia producers. What 486 machines and Windows 3.0 did to expand the desktop publishing market; Pentium processors, the PCI bus and Windows 95 and NT are doing for the video market. With at least 10 times the installed base of any other platform, Windows users have long benefited from the time and money savings offered by “open platform” interoperability. Professional media producers need the same opportunity to be able to buy the best interoperable hardware and software, from a variety of vendors, at a variety of price/performance points to meet their individual requirements. Vendors are committed to delivering video and audio editing, multimedia authoring, plug-in effects, and animation and graphics creation applications that all work together on PCs with varying performance capabilities. Users can choose all the best tools for their jobs at competitive prices.
