Info

  • If you need alpha channel we recommend to use Apple's ProRes 4444 codec.

  • After installing the Apple Pro Video Formats codecs, there are also some other codecs and containers supported, such as XAVC and XF-AVC/HEVC, which have been partially tested.

  • We therefore invite interested parties and prospective customers to evaluate our solutions in combination with their specific workflow requirements by downloading free of charge trial versions of our playout solutions or to get in touch with ToolsOnAir for further information or clarifications.

To obtain the appropriate professional Apple codecs you need to download and install the Free Apple Pro Video Formats (“ProVideoFormats.dmg”) from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2050DL2100?locale=en_USGB. Once downloaded, open the “ProVideoFormats.dmg” image and double-click the “ProVideoFormats.pkg” installer to perform the installation.

...

  • Just Out and Just Control do NOT provide the technology to play out MXF-wrapped videos and the Apple Pro Video Formats codecs have to be installed on all machines running Just Out or Just Control.

  • Due to the way MXF works, it can take several seconds to open an MXF Videocontainer, depending on its length and the number of Audio tracks coming with the Video. This implies that the readout of metadata in the Library of the just:live/just:play user interface (run in Just Control) as well as adding such a video file to any rundown will not happen instantly (as opposed to other containers).
