About Pinnacle Systems

Pinnacle Systems was founded in 1986, located in Mountain View, California, USA. Pinnacle Systems was initially committed to the product design and development of the broadcasting industry, relying on the continuous innovation of technology and strong and reliable products. Pinnacle Systems has been unanimously recognized and widely praised. In the late 1990s, the company expanded to the consumer video market, and now has a series of complete product lines to meet the growing market demand.
In August 2005, Pinnacle systems and avid merged and became part of the Avid family. Avid is the world leader in digital media creation, providing a complete set of solutions for film production, such as digital non-linear media creation, management and publishing tools, as well as video and audio creation tools, animation, games and professional broadcast products.
Avid then sold the Pinnacle Systems product to Corel in July 2012.
