Apple Qmaster is a system made by Apple Inc. that provides automated work distribution and processing for high-volume projects created with certain digital visual effects software packages: Shake, Autodesk 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 introduced as part of version 3 of Shake [2], to complement the Rendezvous networking technology (now Bonjour). It was later available with Shake and as part of DVD Studio Pro (until those products were discontinued), and is now available exclusively with Final Cut Studio or Logic Studio.
