Videography Magazine Recognizes Technology with Two Top Awards

Apple Computer, Inc. today announced that QuickTime 3.0, the latest 
release of the Company's industry-standard digital media system software 
for Windows and Mac OS, has received several product and technology 
awards from computer industry press and user groups. Videography magazine 
recently granted QuickTime 3.0 two top honors--the first annual Open 
Studio Interoperability Award, presented at the SIGGRAPH tradeshow in 
August, and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) '97 Editors' 
Choice Award.

According to Videography, the Open Studio Interoperability Award is given 
to a new product that "most significantly enhances the sharing of digital 
media in professional studio environments." The NAB Editors' Choice Award 
is for products "that deliver new capabilities, or substantially improve 
the state-of-the-art in an existing product category." QuickTime 3.0 
received these awards based on its proven interoperability among a 
variety of tools running on multiple platforms.

QuickTime 3.0 has also received awards from other publications and user 
groups including:

Television Broadcast Magazine--Editors' Pick of Show, NAB 1997

New Media magazine--1997 Hyper Award, System Software

Millimeter magazine--Tommy Award, SIGGRAPH 1997 

Berkeley Mac Users' Group--Fall 1997 Choice Product Award

QuickTime 3.0 Supports Multi-Platforms; All Major Video and Audio File 
Formats QuickTime 3.0 is the latest release of Apple's widely adopted 
software architecture for creating and publishing digital media. 
QuickTime 3.0 is significant as it brings the full power of QuickTime 
--including the ability to capture, edit, compress, and playback digital 
media--for the first time to all major personal computer platforms, 
including Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, System 7.x , Mac OS 7.6, and Mac OS 
8.

Additionally, QuickTime 3.0 supports the playback, editing and 
integration of QuickTime, MPEG, AVI, OMF, DV, and OpenDML files, 
providing one of the highest levels of interoperability with all major 
video file formats. QuickTime 3.0 also supports industry standard digital 
audio file formats, including Wave, AIFF, Sound Designer II, AU, and MPEG 
Layer 2, as well as many still image, animation, and MIDI formats.

QuickTime: The Foundation for Leading Video Software Tools First released 
in 1991 for Macintosh, QuickTime is the recognized leader in software 
technology for the creation and delivery of digital media. QuickTime is 
the foundation of the QuickTime Media Layer, which also includes 
QuickTime VR and QuickDraw 3D. Used for professional video editing and 
the creation of CD-ROMs, QuickTime is believed to comprise more than half 
of the video content found on the Internet.

QuickTime provides foundation technology for building powerful digital 
media tools. Award-winning video software products--including Adobe After 
Effects, Avid Cinema, Adobe Premiere, and Radius Edit, as well as 
Macromedia's soon-to-be released Final Cut--are all built on top of 
QuickTime.

QuickTime 3.0 is expected to be available Fall, 1997. Apple expects to 
make the software available via download from the World Wide Web at: 
<http://www.quicktime.apple.com>. Developers may license QuickTime 3.0 
for redistribution with applications, titles, and media clip libraries 
that support QuickTime. For additional licensing information, contact
