just:in mac lite NDI is a powerful basic version of the versatile just:in mac client-server capture solution for the macOS platform. It shares the same flexible and reliable capture engine of just:in mac and covers the indispensable recording functions of broadcast and production environments that might not require the full feature set of our flagship capture solutions or are in demand for a budget-friendly capture solution.
Supported Inputs: NDI® (v.5/v.6)
Support Capture Modes: Crash (Gang, Split), Schedule

An important aspect of the daily production routine is the ability to schedule recordings to enhance overall efficiency. just:in mac lite NDI uses the same method as the premium just:in mac solution to accomplish this, by using the Apple Calendar application available as part of every qualified macOS system. Just like creating a calendar appointment, the scheduled programming of recordings is achieved in the simplest possible way, by creating a calendar event that will automatically start and stop a recording scheduled for the related channel.
Flexible Apple Intel and Apple silicon Media Engine hardware acceleration support
The availability of hardware-accelerated encoding support for the H.264 and HEVC (H.265) formats was introduced as of macOS High Sierra (10.13), in combination with qualified Apple machines running on Intel Cores at first. It has been vastly improved with the introduction of the Apple silicon-based Media Engine lately.The just:in mac lite NDI solution feature the unique option to choose either CPU or hardware-accelerated encoding when using the recent Apple silicon models. This is to overcome possible encoding limitations when using a combination of Apple ProRes or H.264/HEVC Capture Presets in the available recording Channels. Please note that the Apple hardware acceleration for ProRes encoding is limited to progressive formats, therefore not supporting either interlaced formats or alpha channels.

just:in mac lite NDI supports various timecode sources to accommodate your needs.
Computer Time: the standard Timecode option available on every Mac, based on Time of Day information.
LTC over Audio: used with a USB Audio interface to sense and decode an audio-based LTC signal.
NDI® Sources
The NDI® protocol, originally developed by NewTek™ and Full discovery and recording support for NDI High Bandwidth/HX3 sources based on the open, low-latency video-over-IP protocol, a registered trademark of Vizrt NDI AB, allows the transmission of audio, video, and metadata over standard gigabit Ethernet networks in real time. The NDI® protocol is bidirectional, has low latency, and can carry out video transmissions up to UHD/4K resolution and beyond. just:in mac lite NDI employs the latest macOS NDI SDK to establish connections with available NDI streams within a designated network. Given the inherent characteristics of NDI technology, as well as the variability in networking configurations and infrastructure, it is important to note that the performance and integrity of all recordings might vary. All ToolsOnAir capture and playout solutions or point products fully support NDI® or NDI®|HX NDI High Bandwidth/HX3 to ensure a straightforward IP-based workflow.
