Media 100 ship 844/X content design system

Media 100, a leading provider of advanced media systems, have announced that they have begun first customer shipments of their award-winning system for content design, the 844/X.
The company also announced that they have established 844/X demonstration centres at reseller locations throughout the United States, Europe and Asia and are on track to equip the entire worldwide channel with 844/X demonstration systems by the end of second quarter 2002.
"With first 844/X shipments to end users, we are executing our plan to drive growth," said John Molinari, president and chief executive officer of Media 100. "844/X is new and revolutionary; we've conceived 844/X to serve creative professionals who design valuable content, rich with visual effects, and will sell worldwide through an elite network of value-added resellers. This is a product-channel formula we know well, which makes the first-customer-ship milestone especially exhilarating."
"Our 844/X demonstration centres are fully operational," added Jeff Turner, vice president of worldwide sales for Media 100. "We have moved quickly and aggressively to equip and train our channel partners to be able to effectively sell 844/X. Our first end user bookings and shipments are confirmation that we are making progress."
844/X has garnered industry accolades, having swept all three 'Best of Show' awards for advancements in the art and science of video technology by the digital media editorial community during the NAB Annual Conference and Exhibition.
