Autodesk Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), today announced that cleaner(tm) 6 for Mac<br />
will be available this fall. Discreet's cleaner software continues to be an<br />
industry standard for creating streaming video and audio for multimedia and<br />
the web through high quality content mastering for all major digital media<br />
formats.</p>
<p>cleaner 6 for Mac demonstrates Discreet's unwavering commitment to provide<br />
market-leading content mastering solutions with support for Apple's<br />
QuickTime 6 and MPEG-4, the next standard for multimedia delivery across<br />
networks, platforms and wireless-based devices. Discreet will showcase<br />
cleaner 6 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York this week at<br />
Macworld Expo (booth # 1737).</p>
<p>"Discreet continues to show its strong commitment to the Mac community with<br />
cleaner 6 for Mac, a reliable and comprehensive Content Mastering<br />
application, optimized and enhanced for Apple's ultramodern operating<br />
system," said Paul Lypaczewski, general manager, Discreet and executive<br />
vice president of Autodesk, Inc. "Discreet's goal is to provide its<br />
customers the tools they need to satisfy the increasing market demand for<br />
compelling visual content for web delivery, DVDs and CDs."</p>
<p>"Mac OS X and QuickTime deliver the power, stability and high-performance<br />
features that content creators demand from an efficient media authoring<br />
environment," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide<br />
Developer Relations. "We're delighted with Discreet's commitment to Mac OS<br />
X and cleaner 6 should be a tremendous solution for media artists who want<br />
to create the highest quality streaming content in QuickTime."</p>
<p>New features in cleaner 6<br />
Expanding upon cleaner 5.1, released earlier this year, cleaner 6 for Mac<br />
will adopt many more exciting features from Mac OS X's Aqua user interface<br />
for smoother interaction. New watch folders, drag and drop capabilities and<br />
nested settings will streamline workflow and allow customers to complete<br />
projects with greater efficiency. Taking full advantage of Mac OS X's true<br />
memory protection, preemptive multi-tasking and symmetric multiprocessing<br />
when running on the dual processor Power Mac G4, cleaner 6 will deliver<br />
blazing performance gains, making streaming media encoding easier and<br />
faster. cleaner 6 for Mac will also continue support for QuickTime and<br />
enable multimedia designers to publish in the most up-to-date and popular<br />
streaming formats.</p>
<p>Discreet has optimized cleaner 6 for Mac to leverage the power of the<br />
G4-processor and make workflow and project delivery faster. As more and<br />
more companies begin to stream internal communications via the web, cleaner<br />
6 will remain at the forefront of media-encoding expertise. Discreet's<br />
streaming software line of products includes-cleaner 6, cleaner<br />
central(tm), and cleaner(tm) streaming studio. For more information about<br />
Discreet's encoding and streaming media products go to:<br />
