General Notes
Before upgrading to v3.0 x of our playout applications, please be aware of the following changes.
...
At the time we did the final tests for this version, there was no driver available from AJA which supports macOS Big Sur and therefore also not the Apple Silicon based mac minis.
Because most of our customers use hardware from AJA, we recommend to use macOS Catalina and an Intel mac with v3.0.
Support for macOS Big Sur and M1 based Mac's will follow as soon as possible with a future release.
v2.x Features which are not available with v3.

Codecs and Container Formats which are not available with v3.
...
x
Due to macOS changes we can not support legacy codecs and container formats anymore. If you rely on these codecs, please keep using v2.7 (or a previous versions) and contact us, or they can be added to the system by installing Apple's Pro Video Formats. Please see here for more information about Codecs and Containers 2.4 Supported Video Containers & Video Codecs (v3.0) and how to install support for additional Containers and Codecs using the Apple Pro Video Formats.
...
Renamed User Interface Application
With v3 .0 we changed the naming of the User Interface from just:live and just:play to "Just Control". This is a unified interface for all ingest and playout applications from TOA. Which playout interface is opened for a certain channel is defined in the channel settings, and different kinds of channels can be used in the same interface.
For Customers Updating from previous versions to v3.
...
x
All customers upgrading from a previous version need a new v3.0 x activation code to be able to play out using just:out without a watermark.
Starting with version v1.8 the activation is no longer done on the machine running just:out, but on the machine running just:connect. This means that all customers with a valid maintenance contract who would like to update to v3.x from a version older than v1.8.x should contact ToolsOnAir at orders@toolsonair.com to make sure the new license key will be made using the right machine ID.
