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 supportThe 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.
