The products are professional and broadcast HD/SD video equipment.   
You would find this stuff in TV stations, mobile production trucks,  
rental companies, studios, etc.  It uses a real-time embedded OS so  
the equipment itself does not use Windoze, Linux or Mac OS.  However  
you can import graphic files from Macs or PCs via USB or FTP or a home- 
grown application that runs only under Windoze.  Since most graphic  
departments in TV stations are Mac-based, I think it's a good idea to  
go in there with a Mac laptop so show the home-grown app running on  
BootCamp or Parallels.  Sometimes there are import problems and I'll  
need to troubleshoot why the Mac files aren't working when transferred  
over.

So having a Mac in the field would be an advantage for me.  When  
connected to the company network I can be running BootCamp or  
Parallels.  When troubleshooting I could have a laptop that can run in  
both the Mac and Windoze environments.  I thought it would be as  
simple as that.  However IT doesn't see it like that.

Thanks,
