When using macOS Sonoma (14.x), please open the “System Settings” application, select “Privacy & Security” on the left-hand side, scroll down, and ensure that the “Security” section option is set to “App Store and identified developers”
Version 5.0 Changes - just:live & just:play
New Audio Engine: Version 5.0 introduces a new way audio is processed inside our engine. This brings back the ability to use Buffered Input with video devices from Blackmagic Design and is the foundation for more audio-related features in upcoming releases.
NDI I/O: Version 5.0 supports the ability to receive an NDI ®(or NDI®| HX) stream as a live signal, and to provide an NDI® signal as the broadcast output, instead of using hardware from either AJA or Blackmagic Design as the playout device.
