To whom it may concern,
I don´t know how many customers have to ask for a Bright Author for mac until it actually happens. So here is another request. I work for a company based in Berlin Germany who do very important art shows like documenta, Venice biennale and many more and in the art scene we are the biggest company in the world for media technic. We operate international. We used different kind of players in the past such as Adtec or Eyezone or just mac minis. Since a few years we buy more and more Bright Sign players and not only rent them but also sell them to customers. Meanwhile we own 378 BrightSign players and they are rapidly getting more. Our whole company works only on Mac only and we want to keep it that way since mac is quite common in the whole art world. Of course we use scripts for single channel installations and also for multi channel. But there are a lot of works were we have to use Bright Author. For triggering players with sensors or schedule players for example. It´s really a pain to boot in Windows or use a virtual machine. I don´t know if you are aware of it but many thousand of people all around the globe use bright sign and the only reason they are forced to use windows is BA. Especially in film / video art which is also one of your target groups, right? Also most people in museums all around the world use mac. I know it cause I have been to countless places to build up media tech. Quicktime Prores for example is one of the most used codecs in film industry and it´s form apple. So please if you have possibility to provide a BA for mac you should do it.
Thanks for understanding and for you amazing hardware,
