Today at NAB2002, the National Association of Broadcasters convention, Microsoft Corp. announced that leading developers of professional video and audio production hardware and software have announced their intent to support the next version of the Microsoft® Windows Media (TM) technology, code-named "Corona," in upcoming products. This rapid and early support from some of the leading developers of video acquisition, video production and high-resolution multichannel audio authoring solutions demonstrates that Windows Media has come of age. It is no longer just a format for efficient media distribution over the Internet: The quality advances of Windows Media "Corona" are rapidly taking it upstream in the production process to make it a format embraced by the professional media-authoring community.
