With version 3.0, UHD Playout up to and including 60fps is possible, using selected hardware. Please consider following points while configuring a server for UHD Playout.
UHD playout is only supported with a MacPro6,1 (30fps max) or 7,1 (60fps max).
Only those video devices which have been qualified by ToolsOnAir should be used (see chapter Supported Video Devices).
Make sure all cables, boxes and devices are connected using Thunderbolt 2 or higher.
The faster the MacPro, the more functions can be used at the same time and a higher video codec quality can be used.
We recommend to use Apple ProRes (up to and including 422 HQ) and selected H.264 compressed movies.
Although it is possible to run just:out and the UI on the same machine, we strongly recommend running the UI on a separate machine.
Realtime graphics are supported but especially complex templates must be tested thoroughly before using them on air.
We recommend to disable the Low latency playout in the Advanced Channel Settings of just:connect.
