It was the first 3rd-party developer to produce video cards with software capable of displaying 24-bit color from Macintosh computers through its ColorBoard series of products. RasterOps worked closely with Apple in 1988, prior to the development of Apple's own 32-Bit QuickDraw.

It was founded by Cathleen Asch, Carl Calabria, Joseph Haaf, Bryan Hunt, Brad Pillow, Joe Shepard and Jeff Walters and others when split off their Electronic Photography and Imaging Center (EPICenter) in 1987. EPICenter was founded by Alan Wlasuk, Carl Calabria, Bryan Hunt, Brad Pillow, Joe Shepard and Jeff Walters.

When Truevision was acquired by RasterOps of Santa Clara, California, RasterOps took on the Truevision name and retained the Indianapolis engineering team which continued producing ever more advanced products until 1999, when the company was finally acquired by its biggest competitor,. In August 2005, Pinnacle Systems was acquired by Avid Technology, who initially used the AT-Vista when they were a two-person. Avid subsequently sold Pinnacle products to in July 2012.
