Apple Qmaster is a system made by Apple Computer that provides automated work distribution and processing for high-volume projects created with certain digital visual effects software packages: Shake, Alias Maya, Final Cut Pro, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro and any UNIX command-line program. It processes such jobs on a cluster of Macintosh or Xserve computers.
[edit] History
Qmaster was first introduced as part of version 3 of Shake [2], to complement the Rendezvous networking technology (now Bonjour). It was later available as part of DVD Studio Pro, and is now available exclusively with Final Cut Studio or Shake.
