Help File: Eizo compatibility with new Apple OS

Recently we’ve had a number of customers update to Apple OS Catalina and Big Sur with tragic results. While many other monitor brands are well and truly in landfill after 8 years of use, we’re finding that the Eizo’s are lasting far longer. We’ve got one that’s over 13 years old and still going strong. So what happens if you update to the latest OS? You won’t be able to use ColourNavigator 7. The models listed below are incompatible with 64-bit Catalina or above.

This is the problem in a nut shell:

Starting from Mac OS 10.15 Catalina, Apple OS has been programmed to work with 64-bit systems only.

Earlier ColorEdge models – while still running strong – are 32-bit only & can only be calibrated with ColorNavigator 6 (a 32-bit programme).
And ColorNavigator 6 can not be run on Catalina or above.

Can you see the problem?
