         The undersigned Registrant hereby amends the following items, financial
statements,  exhibits,  or other  portions  of its  Current  Report on Form 8-K,
originally filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on August 13, 1999
(the "Form 8-K"):

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

a.       Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

       Based on the materiality of this  acquisition to Pinnacle  Systems,  Inc.
       (the  "Company"),  Rule  3-05(b)(2)(ii)  of  Regulation  S-X requires the
       Company to furnish full  audited  financial  statements  for the acquired
       business as specified in Rule 3-01 and Rule 3-02. However,  due to the de
       minimus  nature  of  the  operations  of the  Video  Server  Business  in
       proportion to the Hewlett-Packard  Company as a whole, separate financial
       statements  have  never  been  prepared  for  the  acquired  business  in
       accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

       Based on the  circumstances  described above,  the following  audited and
       unaudited  financial  statements are hereby  included in this Form 8-K/A.
       The Company believes the provision of these financial statements to be in
       compliance  with the  requirements  of Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X as the
       most appropriate  presentation under the circumstances (note that none of
       the conditions specified in S-X Rule 1-02(w) exceed 40%):

o     Audited  Statement of Tangible Assets Sold and  Liabilities  Assumed as of
      July 31, 1999.

o     Audited  Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses of the Business for the
      fiscal year ended October 31, 1998.

o     Unaudited  Statement of Revenues  and Direct  Expenses of the Business for
      the fiscal nine-month periods ended July 31, 1999 and 1998.

                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors
Hewlett-Packard Company


We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of  tangible  assets  sold  and
liabilities assumed of the Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") Broadcast Video Server
Business  (the  "Business")  as of July 31, 1999,  and the related  statement of
revenues  and  direct  expenses  for the year  ended  October  31,  1998.  These
statements are the  responsibility of HP's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about whether the  statements are free of material  misstatement.  An
audit includes examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosure in these statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the statements. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The  accompanying  statements  were prepared for inclusion in the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  Current  Report on Form 8-K of Pinnacle  Systems,  Inc. as
described  in Note 2 and are not intended to be a complete  presentation  of the
Business' financial position and results of operation.

In our opinion the statements  referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects,  the tangible assets sold and liabilities assumed as described in Note
2 as of July 31, 1999, and the revenues and direct expenses as described in Note
2 for the year ended  October  31,  1998,  of the  Business in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Hewlett-Packard Company Broadcast Video Server Business
Notes to Statement of Tangible Assets Sold and Liabilities Assumed and
Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses (in thousands)

1.     Description of Business

       The   Broadcast   Video  Server   Business   (the   "Business")   of  the
       Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP"), is engaged in the design, manufacture and
       marketing of video broadcast servers for use in the broadcast market.


2.     Basis of Presentation

       On August 2, 1999, HP sold to Pinnacle Systems,  Inc.  ("Pinnacle" or the
       "Company")   certain  tangible  assets  and  the  buyer  assumed  certain
       liabilities  of the  Business  in  accordance  with  the  Asset  Purchase
       Agreement  between HP and  Pinnacle  dated June 30,  1999 (the  "Purchase
       Agreement").

       The  accompanying  statements  of tangible  assets  sold and  liabilities
       assumed as of July 31, 1999 and of revenues  and direct  expenses for the
       nine months ended July 31, 1999 and 1998  (unaudited)  and the year ended
       October 31, 1998,  have been  prepared for the purpose of complying  with
       the rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission for
       inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Pinnacle.

       The statement of tangible  assets sold and liabilities  assumed  includes
       the amounts of certain tangible assets and liabilities of the Business at
       July 31, 1999.  Tangible assets sold include  finished goods  inventories
       and  property,  plant and  equipment as  specifically  identified  in the
       Purchase Agreement.  The property,  plant and equipment include equipment
       for  research  and  development,  manufacturing  and testing of broadcast
       servers.  Liabilities assumed include the Business' warranty obligations,
       as specifically identified in the Purchase Agreement.

       The statement of revenues and direct expenses includes direct expenses of
       the  Business  for   research  and  design,   manufacturing,   marketing,
       distribution, and administration as well as allocations of costs incurred
       by HP primarily for selling,  administration and management services that
       are directly  attributed to the  operations  of the  Business.  Corporate
       overhead,  interest  expense  and  income  tax  incurred  by HP have been
       excluded  from the  statement  of  revenues  and direct  expenses.  These
       statements  do not  purport  to  represent  all the  costs  and  expenses
       associated with a stand-alone separate company, or the costs which may be
       incurred by an unaffiliated company to achieve similar results.  Complete
       financial  statements,  including  historical  balance  sheets,  were not
       prepared as HP did not maintain the Business as a separate  business unit
       and has not segregated  indirect  operating  cost  information or certain
       assets and liabilities in the Business' accounting records.

Hewlett-Packard Company Broadcast Video Server Business
Notes to Statement of Tangible Assets Sold and Liabilities Assumed and
Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses (in thousands)

       The  statement of revenues and direct  expenses for the nine months ended
       July 31, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited;  however,  in the opinion of HP and
       the  Business'  management,  these  statements  reflect all  adjustments,
       consisting  only of normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary for a fair
       presentation of these statements.

3.     Summary of Significant Policies

       Use of estimates
       The  preparation  of financial  statements in accordance  with  generally
       accepted accounting  principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the amounts  reported in the Business'  financial
       statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

       Revenue recognition
       Revenue  is  recognized  upon  shipment,  except for  non-standard  sales
       contracts  where  revenues is  recognized  upon  customer  acceptance.  A
       provision for  estimated  future  warranty  costs is recorded at the time
       revenue is recognized.

       Revenue from non-standard sales contracts with significant  customization
       and  integration  services to meet specific  customer needs is recognized
       using the percentage of completion method. Progress towards completion is
       measured  upon  the  achievement  of  certain  project  installation  and
       acceptance  milestones,  which  approximate  the portion of actual  costs
       incurred.

       The  Business  sells  broadcast  video  server  products to domestic  and
       international  broadcast  video  communication  customers.  The following
       table is a summary of sales by major  geographic  region  (percentage  of
       total revenues):

Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses (in thousands)

       Inventories
       Inventories  are valued at standard cost which  approximates  actual cost
       computed on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of market values.

       Property, plant and equipment
       Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions, improvements
       and  major  renewals  are  capitalized.  Maintenance,  repairs  and minor
       renewals  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Depreciation  is  provided  using
       accelerated  methods,  principally  over 10 to 18 years for buildings and
       improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment.  Depreciation
       expense  amounted to $159  (unaudited),  $372 (unaudited) and $486 during
       the nine months  ended July 31, 1999 and 1998 and the year ended  October
       31, 1998, respectively.

       Research and development
       Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

       Company Allocations
       Allocated  costs  directly  related  to the  operations  of the  Business
       primarily  include  trade  discounts,  field  selling  costs and  certain
       management and administrative  costs. Such costs are allocated on a basis
       considered reasonable by management as discussed below.

       Trade discounts
       Trade  discounts  of $88  (unaudited),  $152  (unaudited),  and $225 were
       allocated to the Business  during the nine months ended July 31, 1999 and
       1998 and the year ended October 31, 1998,  respectively.  These represent
       cash discounts that offset direct revenues earned by the Business and are
       allocated  based on a  percentage  of  gross  shipments  applicable  to a
       geographic region.

       Field selling costs
       Field selling costs of $4,885  (unaudited),  $5,102  (unaudited),  $7,542
       were allocated to the Business during the nine months ended July 31, 1999
       and 1998 and the year ended October 31, 1998,  respectively.  These costs
       include  salaries and benefits,  travel,  facilities  and other  expenses
       associated  with  HP's  sales  force  and  other  international   trading
       expenses.  These field  selling  costs are  allocated  based on a channel
       model applicable to a geographic region.

       Administrative and management costs
       Administrative and management costs of $435 (unaudited), $476 (unaudited)
       and $749 were allocated to the Business during the nine months ended July
       31,  1999 and 1998 and the year ended  October  31,  1998,  respectively.
       These costs  include  certain  marketing  management  and  administrative
       services and are  allocated  based on relative  usage or, as in personnel
       related costs, on headcount.

4.     Commitments

       In April 1998, the Business  entered into a contract to develop,  install
       and support a video server subsystem for a total contract price of $8,583
       (unaudited). The Business recognized $3,635 (unaudited) of revenue during
       the nine months  ended July 31,  1999,  which  represents  the  estimated

b.       Pro Forma Financial Information.

         The following  unaudited  pro forma  combined  condensed  balance sheet
         gives effect to the acquisition by Pinnacle Systems,  Inc.  ("Pinnacle"
         or the "Company") of certain  tangible assets and assumption of certain
         liabilities of the Video Communications  Division ("the Business") from
         the Hewlett-Packard  Company ("HP") in a business combination accounted
         for by the purchase method. The unaudited  pro-forma combined condensed
         balance  sheet is based on the audited  consolidated  balance  sheet of
         Pinnacle  as of  June  30,  1999  and  gives  effect  to  the  business
         combination  as if it had  occurred  on June 30,  1999.  The pro  forma
         adjustments   are  based  upon   available   information   and  certain
         assumptions   that  management   believes  are  reasonable   under  the
         circumstances.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been
         made that are  necessary  to present  fairly the pro forma data.  Final
         amounts  could differ from those set forth  below.  The  unaudited  pro
         forma  condensed  balance  sheet is not intended to be a projection  of
         future financial condition.

         Article 11 of Regulation  S-X requires the  preparation  of a pro-forma
         condensed statement of operations. Pro-forma statements are intended to
         represent a modification of historical financial statements as though a
         current  event  occurred  at  an  earlier  date.  Separate,  historical
         statements of operations of the Business were never  prepared by HP due
         to the de  minimus  nature of the  Business  in  proportion  to HP as a
         whole. Thus, in order to prepare historical pro-forma  information,  it
         would  be  necessary  for  Pinnacle  to  make   assumptions   based  on
         forward-looking   estimates.   For  the  purposes  of  this   document,
         disclosure of such pro-forma  condensed  statements of operations could
         be misleading and therefore have been omitted.

         The  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  balance  sheet  should be read in
         conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements  of Pinnacle
         Systems,  Inc.  appearing in Pinnacle's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the fiscal  year ended June 30, 1999 as filed with the  Securities  and
         Exchange  Commission,  and the financial data of the Business appearing
         elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

On August 2, 1999,  Pinnacle  completed the purchase of certain  tangible assets
and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Video  Communications  Division
of the Hewlett-Packard  Company ("HP"),  pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement
dated  June 30,  1999  (the  "Agreement").  Under  the  terms of the  Agreement,
Pinnacle acquired  substantially all of the assets of HP's Video  Communications
Division, including key technologies and intellectual property, the Media Stream
family of products and selected  additional assets, as well as most managers and
employees.  The  Company  paid  approximately  $12.6  million in cash and issued
773,172 shares of Pinnacle's common stock valued at approximately $20.6 million.
The Company also  incurred  approximately  $500,000 in  transaction  costs for a
total  purchase  price of $33.7  million.  Pursuant to a stock  restriction  and
registration  rights agreement entered into by the parties,  Pinnacle filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 with
respect  to  one-half  of the  Pinnacle  Shares  issued to HP. HP has  agreed to
certain  restrictions  with respect to the  disposition of the remainder of such
shares.

Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments

(a) Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price will be allocated to the
Company's   assets  and  liabilities   based  on  their  relative  fair  values.
Allocations   are  subject  to  valuations  as  of  the  date  of  the  purchase
transaction.  The amount and  components of the estimated  purchase  price along
with the  preliminary  allocation  of the  estimated  purchase  price to  assets
purchased are as follows (in thousands):

          Common stock issued                              $ 20,632
          Cash paid                                          12,597
          Transaction costs                                     500
                                                           --------
             Total purchase price                          $ 33,729
                                                           ========


          Accounts receivable                              $  4,344
          Other assets                                          400
          Goodwill                                           14,000
          Other intangibles                                  17,150
          In-process research and development                 2,000
          Assumed liabilities                                (4,165)
                                                           --------
             Net assets acquired                           $ 33,729
                                                           ========

Accounts receivable are valued at net realizable value of amounts to be received
less an  allowance  for  uncollectibility.  The balance is derived  from product
shipments made by HP prior to the completion of the  acquisition.  Based on HP's
revenue  recognition  policies,   revenue  from  said  shipments  had  not  been
recognized  as of the  closing  date of the  acquisition  and  therefore  HP had
maintained an inventory asset as of July 31, 1999.  Subsequent to the completion
of the  acquisition,  Pinnacle  valued  the  purchased  assets  related to these
shipments as accounts receivable without recognizing the related revenue.

                                       13

(b) The Company will record a charge of  approximately  $2,000,000  for the fair
value of acquired in process research and development  related to the net assets
acquired.  This  charge is  included in the  pro-forma  adjustments  and will be
reflected  in the  Company's  statement  of  operations  for the  quarter  ended
September 30, 1999.

(c) Other intangibles include mostly  core/developed  technology,  licensing and
manufacturing  agreements,  acquired  customer  base,  patents,  trademarks  and
assembled  workforce.  Goodwill  represents  the  amount  by  which  the cost of
acquired  net  assets  exceeds  the fair  value of the net assets on the date of
purchase.   Goodwill  and  other   intangibles   will  be  amortized  using  the
straight-line method over a period of three to five years.

Allocations are preliminary and subject to further review. Subsequent changes to
the  purchase  price  allocation,  if any,  will be recorded as  adjustments  to
goodwill.
