Daniel K. 9/13/2015 6:11:37 PM Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works great, clunky software This review is from: Brightsign HD222 Networked Interactive Media Player Pros: Pro grade player, can do almost anything you want it to if you can program it. Cons: Bright Author software is not user friendly. Needed to watch the video tutorials to figure it out and I have over 25 years in the industry. Other Thoughts: Using it for a video wall in a temporary museum exhibit. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
William C. 8/19/2015 6:10:50 AM Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5goog product, needs better software This review is from: Brightsign HD222 Networked Interactive Media Player Pros: The hardware was easy to install and set up. Cons: The software is clunky and NOT intuitive. A person of average intelligence should not have to sit through 10 YouTube videos to figure out how to do basic functions. And there is NO help on how to do the higher functions. Also, the option to require a password to make edits DOES NOT WORK! Other Thoughts: The software APPEARS to be able to do whatever you might want, but figuring out how to do it will take a lot of time and effort on your part. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
