Before you begin make sure that you have OS X 10.9.5 / 10.11 or higher installed as well as the current drivers from either AJA or Blackmagic Design. Deltacast users won’t need to install drivers.

just:in multi version 1.8 will ONLY run on OS X 10.9.5 / 10.11 or higher.

Double-click on the DMG installer image and click Agree to accept the license agreement. To install Just In 1.8 drag and drop the installer icon onto the Applications folder. 

 

For NEW installations:

  • Navigate to the /Applications/Just In folder and double- click on Just In Engine QuickTime to initialize the software packages. You will be asked to update your system and to allow access to system resources such as Apple Calendar. Confirm all of them by clicking OK and by entering your credentials when asked.
  • The next step is to activate/configure your channel(s). More on this in Chapter 3. 

For UPGRADE installations ONLY:

  • In case of a previous activation of any version prior to v.1.7-1.8 you will need a new activation code. Please contact ToolsOnAir to receive your updated activation code under software maintenance. To perform an upgrade install, drag the Just In installer package to the Applications folder and confirm that you want to replace (Replace All) the older version of Just In.
  • Navigate to the /Applications/Just In folder and double- click on Just In Engine QuickTime to initialize the software packages. You will be asked to update your system and to allow access to system resources such as Apple Calendar. Confirm all of them by clicking OK and by entering your credentials when asked.
  • Your capture presets will be kept as well your channel(s) configuration. If you upgrade from just:in multi v.1.6 the destination presets need to be recreated in the Just In Configuration preference panel in order to reflect the new multiple destinations structure (see pages 11 and 12).
  • Once the upgrade setup is done, restart Just In Engine QuickTime, launch Just In Multi and connect to the desired channels. 

 

Where to look for just:in multi v.1.8 components after the installation process:

  • Just In Multi.app: /Applications/Just In/
  • Just in Engine QuickTime.app: /Applications/Just In/
  • Tools On Air Preferences.prefPane: /Library/PreferencePanes/
  • Just In Adobe Panel: Just In Installer → Additional Content/Just In Adobe Panel/
  • Moxa Daemon Setup filles: Just In Installer → Additional Content/Moxa/ 

 

Note for AJA Users

  • just:in multi 1.8 has been designed to take care of all sort of signal handling between the KONA cards and the Just In Engine QuickTime engine. Please note that failing to provide a continuously stable signal, during a capture process can interrupt your ingest process or harm the file saved to disk by making them out-of-sync or even unusable at all. In order to stabilize the signal in advance, i.e. before it’s sent to the video card input, we recommend the use Audio/Video Frame Synchronizers.
  • With the Io XT Thunderbolt device you will be able to record up to 2 incoming SDI streams. With the KONA 3G, KONA 4, Corvid 24 PCI cards and the Io 4K Thunderbolt device you will be able to record up to 4 incoming SDI streams. With the Corvid 88 you will be able to record up to 8 incoming SDI streams thanks to just:in multi’s direct SDK link.
  • With the Io 4K please use the UFC firmware mode, if you want the engine to loop the incoming source to any output for monitoring purposes.
  • Version 1.8 of just:in multi will support AJA drivers 10.6.1 and higher only! 


Note for Blackmagic Users

  •  We do NOT recommend the use of DeckLink Duo cards to achieve a 2–4 channel ingest station due to extended thermic problems and reported frame loss issues. Please use the DeckLink Quad card instead which is the approved setup for multi-channel input! This refers to both the Mac Pro 5,1 and any external Thunderbolt extension chassis.
  • It is recommended to use the Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers version 10.3.2 and higher for full compatibility with OS X 10.9.5 / 10.10 and fixes with regard to channel reallocation upon restart.
