Media 100 is a manufacturer of non-linear editing systems designed for professional cutting and editing. The editing systems are currently all based on OEM AJA Kona boards, with the exception of the Software-only Producer and Producer Suite, and run exclusively on Macs. In the past, the editing systems were nearly exclusively based on custom hardware boards to be placed into Apple Macintosh computers, but Microsoft Windows-based systems were available as well. Media 100 was initially established as a division of Marlboro, MA-based Data Translation, Inc. then spun off as an independent company in 1996[1]. After absorbing or merging with several companies (Terran Interactive, Digital Origin, and Wired, Inc.) it eventually entered bankruptcy proceedings, with its assets and employees acquired by Optibase in March 2004 [2]. It is presently owned by Artel Software, the maker of Boris FX, which acquired the company from Optibase in October 2005 [3].
