Discreet entry into the fray

Article Abstract:

Discreet Logic of Montreal, Canada, is in direct competition with Avid Technology in the broadcast editing systems market.

Both companies specialised in low-end effects and editing systems and Discreet's name has given them credibility. Products include Smoke, a middle range non-linear editing system and Fire, a high-end effects editor.
