Much of the desktop video revolution can be traced in the history of NewTek. Since its inception, NewTek has been a driving force in pushing the edge of video and 3D graphics technology while redefining price/performance and ease of use. NewTek is perhaps best known in the film and video industry as the company that created the desktop video market segment in 1990 with the introduction of its wildly successful product, the Amiga Video Toaster. In 1993, NewTek and its founder, Tim Jenison, were presented with an Emmy award for Technical Achievement for this revolutionary product. NewTek has built its success on the concept of providing powerful, intuitive products at prices that are very affordable. In late 2001, NewTek once again redefined video editing with the release of the powerful Video Toaster [2], the next-generation Video Toaster running on the Windows 2000 platform.

Low-cost tools provided by NewTek have broadened the base of those who create broadcast quality video and graphics. Along the way, NewTek has developed a fanatically loyal customer base that continues to look to it for new and innovative products at unmatched prices.
