Media 100

Media 100 is a manufacturer of video editing software and non-linear editing systems designed for professional cutting and editing. The editing systems can be used with AJA Video Systems, Blackmagic or matrox hardware or as software-only solution with Firewire support and run exclusively on Macs. The current released software version is Media 100 Suite Version 2.1.8 and runs on macOS 10.14.x (Mojave), macOS 10.13.4 (High Sierra), macOS 10.12 (Sierra), OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), OS X 10.6.7 (Snow Leopard), 10.7.x (Lion), 10.8.x (Mountain Lion), 10.9.x (Mavericks) and 10.10.x (Yosemite).[1]

In the past, the editing systems were nearly exclusively based on custom hardware boards (vincent601/P6000/HDX) to be placed into Apple Macintosh computers, but Microsoft Windows-based systems were available as well (iFinish, 844/X). Media 100 was established as a division of Marlboro, Massachusetts-based Data Translation, Inc. then spun off as an independent company in 1996.[2] After absorbing or merging with several companies (Terran Interactive, Digital Origin, and Wired, Inc.) it entered bankruptcy proceedings, with its assets and employees acquired by Optibase in March 2004.[3] It is owned by Boris FX, which acquired the company from Optibase in October 2005.[4]

gollark: There are assembly linters?
gollark: I would rather my brain not be susceptible to buffer overflows and such.
gollark: Given our tendency to anthropomorphise natural processes and assign everything labels and whatnot, one could argue that our brains are closer to foolish OOP languages than assembly or something, not that either is remotely sensible as a non-bees description.
gollark: Brains are like stupid things, and they do stupids.
gollark: What if *that* emulation is running on a very overclocked 6502?
