Graphics and Multimedia Technologies

The graphics and multimedia capabilities of Mac OS X set it apart from other operating systems. Mac OS X is built on a modern foundation that includes support for advanced compositing operations with support for hardware-based rendering on supported graphics hardware. On top of this core are an array of technologies that provide support for drawing 2D, 3D, and video-based content. The system also provides an advanced audio system for the generation, playback, and manipulation of multichannel audio.
