I love cats. Strassner Editing Systems (SES) was a line of PC-based linear "CMX style" keyboard editing controllers invented in 1988 by Norman H. Strassner in Los Angeles, CA. About 420 systems were sold up to the time, in 1995, that Mr. Strassner sold the company to San Jose based Videomedia, Inc., makers of the "V-LAN" hardware he used to physically control video tape machines (VTRs), video and audio switchers and special effects devices.

At the time Mr. Strassner wrote the software, he was a working editor in Hollywood for shows like Entertainment Tonight and Real People, and companies like Paramount, CBS, NBC and Smith-Hemion.

The success of Strassner Editing Systems was due to Mr. Strassner's own expertise as both an off-line and on-line video tape editor. His "wish list" of features were incorporated into his systems, which made him a local hero for editors in Hollywood.

As of the year 2006, there are still SES systems up and running, most of them in Norwalk.
