Arboretum Announces BeOS Development
Effort
January 28, 1999Arboretum Systems today announced support for the BeOS and the porting
of their Hyperprism and Ray Gun audio software to the BeOS. The Hyperprism
signal processing and sound design package and the Ray Gun noise reduction
tool are the latest additions to the comprehensive audio toolset being
assembled for BeOS. Announcements from other firms prior to and at NAMM
indicate that Arboretum joins a wave of prominent audio software developers
now migrating to BeOS.
"I am very excited by the BeOS," said Arboretum founder and
CEO Georges Jaroslaw. "I have been longing for an operating system
which is more audio and video oriented. There is a huge potential to benefit
users and I see the BeOS as a major milestone in the history of the digital
media industry."
BeOS features such as symmetric multiprocessing and pervasive multithreading
hold special appeal for Arboretum's engineering team. "After spending
several years working around the real-time limitations of general purpose
operating systems, it is such a relief to work with the BeOS," said
Chris Weare, Arboretum's Chief Technical Officer. "It's built from
the ground up with real-time performance in mind. BeOS is opening many
technological possibilities for the development team at Arboretum Systems.
Possibilities that will result in novel and exciting features in our products
to come." For more information, visit Arboretum at www.arboretum.com. |
