  2. Go to Security & Privacy.

  3. Click on the General tab.

  4. Authorise yourself to Unlock the pane.

When using macOS Ventura (13.6.x) or macOS Sonoma (14.56.x):

  2. Eject the disk image afterwards (“Command-E”).

  3. Open a Finder window and navigate to the “Just Playout” folder inside your Applications folder.

    • Just Out provides the final output (Virtual, SDI, or NDI®, SRT, UDP, ST-2110-Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP stream). It renders the frames in realtime real-time either on the host GPU (Graphics) or CPU (video file decoding) and should never be quit during playout operations. For more information, please visit: 8. Just Out (v.5.x)

    • Just Connect acts like a channel manager, receiving and distributing all the information related to a playout channel. It interconnects to all Just Out engine(s) and Just Control user interface(s) which are related to a particular channel managed by Just Connect. For more information, please visit: 9. Just Connect (v.5.x)

    • Just Control is the unified user interface for all ToolsOnAir applications. During the setup, the administrator can define which one of the two available solutions/user interfaces, namely just:live or just:play should be used for a specific channel. For more information about the just:live interface, please visit: just:live v.5 User Interface Manual

  4. Add (Drag & Drop) the applications Just Out, Just Connect, and Just Control to your macOS Dock for faster access.

  1. In Just Connect the Status of the Channel should be “Playing”, with a 🟢 (Green) indicator.

  2. In the just:live interface, the Buffer below the Preview/On Air window should be higher than 50% and the CTI (Current Time Indicator) in the timeline should be 🟢 (Green). The timecode in the “ON AIR” window shows the actual time and is changing constantly without stuttering.
