In 1994, Pro Tools 2.5 implemented Digidesign's recently designed
time-division multiplexing know-how, which allowed routing
of various electronic audio streams among DSP cards.
Sound Tools and Pro Tools could be run on Windows platforms for the initial time.
Media Composer and just one of Digidesign's key prospects (25%
of Sound Accelerator and Audiomedia cards manufactured was remaining purchased by Avid).
The wider bandwidth expected to run the more substantial number of tracks was achieved with a
SCSI growth card developed by Grey Matter Response, termed System Accelerator.
A SCSI accelerator was needed to keep up with the improved details throughput.
Digidesign dropped its proprietary SCSI controller in favor of commercially readily
available ones. The timeline offers a graphical representation of all kinds of tracks: the audio
envelope or waveform (when zoomed in) for audio tracks, a piano roll exhibiting MIDI notes and controller values for MIDI and Instrument tracks, a sequence of
body thumbnails for video clip tracks, audio degrees for auxiliary, learn and VCA master tracks.
A large-definition port, remastered by Capcom and HexaDrive, was produced on the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network in October 2012 and for retail
in Japan in November, supporting the use of the PlayStation Move motion controller.
