Hard to believe, but it has been more than 10 years since the final build of Maestro was quietly made available to deploy to client sites+. It was August of 2012, when Greg Dean completed a sweeping cleanup of outstanding issues lingering in prior Maestro builds. The build, Maestro 3.3.9RC8 was never elevated beyond its “Release Candidate” designation. Greg Dean was a perfectionist, and a man I deeply admired. He did everything he could to make it the best Maestro version ever. I don't know it as fact, but my sense is that Greg just couldn't bring himself to declare it finished, final, done… hence RC8, or “release candidate 8”.
As computer hardware accelerated into the 64bit era, broadcast consolidation reduced automation sales opportunities to scraps. Maestro, and the company who owned the code (WideOrbit) reached that uncomfortable fork in the road. The issues exposed in a 64bit environment were too great to overcome, and the financial realities of a shrinking market meant WideOrbit was faced with a decision - either declare the product end of life (EOL), or embark on a complete re-write of the code. The latter was not a viable business option given the resources that would be required.
Maestro is no longer being developed, WideOrbit is no longer supporting the Maestro. Bullseye Technical dba MaestroExperts, however, continues to support systems across the US and abroad.
Maestro remains a product that gets the job done. If you are an owner of a Maestro System, you know how true that statement is and how it has paid for itself several times over. I wish he were still alive so that I could tell my dear friend Mr. Dean thank you for his vision and dedication to the industry. Working with DCS and Maestro opened so many unexpected doors for me+ in the broadcast industry, and for that, I have Greg Dean to thank. And oh, by the way Mr. Dean, if you're reading this from the eternal jock lounge in the sky, Maestro 3.3.9 absolutely IS the best release ever of the product. If you are running Maestro, reach out to request an upgrade.
