We are developing a mid-end to high-end multimedia workstation which will include 16 bit digital audio, near broadcast quality graphics, and an integrated video editing package, as well as bundling the best of the third-party titling and animation/3-D graphics software, all tied together with SMPTE time code through our custom shell software. We intend to market the system very hard to specific niche markets. We have personal contacts within our first intended niche market, for which our workstation will represent a 75% reduction in their production costs in the first year. We intend to hit the appropriate trade publications, take an active role in the training aspects and production of customer projects, survey existing facilities for potential markets, and maintain a constant refinement of our system as we go. Our approach is to sell the SYSTEM, promoting the Amiga indirectly as the core of our product. We intend to look at our system from the perspective of non-Amiga users, developing our products based on ease-of-use and flexibility. Don Kennedy Jim May Vision Quest
