We recommend all customers using an INTEL-based Mac to reduce the data rate used for the H.264 compression to 1500kbps or less. Using a higher data rate will result in dropped frames and an automated restart of the Just Out application, once too many frames have been dropped.
Customers using an AJA video device who would like to use Standard Definition SDI out
All customers who would like to play out in 525/625 SD out using an AJA device will have to select a 10bit based format, because all 8bit based formats will produce a scrambled video output. BMD devices as well as HD/UHD formats are not affected.
General Notes
Before upgrading to v.5.x of our playout applications, please be aware of the following changes.
...
We kindly request that all users upgrading from a previous version adhere to our update guide, which can be found here:https://toolsonair.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TST/pages/3580594317#Installing-a-new-Version-over-an-existing-Version
Date and Time Format
| Info |
|---|
Please verify that your macOS Date & Time settings are compatible with the Gregorian Calendar format (Gregorian date formats include the following: ddmonyy, ddmonyyyy, mm/dd/yy, or mm/dd/yyyy). Using the Gregorian calendar ensures consistency and accuracy in the Date header, avoiding misinterpretation, synchronisation and activation errors. This is crucial for our Playout solutions to fetch and process the correct Start/Stop Date and Time information. |
