MAEstro Software's Multimedia Authoring Environment gives you tools to create simple multimedia documents quickly. Maestro is a suite of more than ten applications that work together to form a flexible and simple authoring toolkit. It is extensible so that new applications and media, such as MPEG movies and animations, can be added quickly and easily to the authoring environment. It also takes full advantage of the 24-bit true-color graphics, CD-quality audio, and ONC RPC-based distributed computing that are standard features of UltraComputing systems from Sun.
