Jon Bohmer
Founder of Scala, Vice President, New Business Development
Scala is in the business of computer televison: that is, using a computer to produce and distribute
television-type programming.
The company is one of the world's leading developers of computer-based television information
solutions and the undisputed leader in multimedia software for the Amiga platform. Available in eleven
languages, Scala's multimedia tools are distributed in more than 40 countries.
Scala was founded in Norway in 1987. Today we are headquartered outside Washington DC, with
international headquarters in Oslo and offices in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark and
Sweden. Scala's team of software engineers includes most of the people who originally developed the
Amiga operating system for Commodore.
Our main products are Scala Multimedia, a software package for the production and playback of
multimedia presentations, interactive training applications, infotainment, and video titling; Scals
InfoChannel, for multimedia networking and information distribution; and Scala Interactive Television,
including software for the production of ITV content and the operating environment for satellite and
cable TV decoders.
All products share the Scala BackBone technology. This makes the software independent of hardware
platform and makes Scala solutions portable to multiple environments. BackBone includes MMOS,
which is an object-oriented operating system layer specifically developed for multimedia applications, and
ScalaScript which is the scripting language we seek to establish as the standard multimedia language of
the future.
Since the Amiga went out of production a year ago, Scala has seen a constant demand for Amigas, from
both new and experienced users. We are happy to see production resume, and to continue to support the
Amiga platform.
Together the Scala software technology and the Amiga hardware technology make up a powerful and cost
effective solution for everyone who needs a multimedia package for home or office use. No other
solution can match the price performance of the Amiga and Scala combination. We look forward to
working with the new Amiga Technologies company in order to provide ready-to-use solutions with
every machine.
Scala's good design has long been one of our strongest assets, and it is an acknowledgement of our
achievements that ESCOM has chosen one of our designers to create the new look for the new Amiga.
