Please read before using Just In Mac Lite NDI!
The Just In Mac Lite NDI application employs the latest official macOS NDI SDK to establish connections with available NDI® streams within a designated network. Given the inherent characteristics of NDI technology, as well as the variability in networking configurations and infrastructure, it is important to note that the performance and integrity of all recordings might vary. Please refer to the official NDI documentation for detailed information: https://docs.ndi.video/docs/docs/index.
Recommendations for Optimal Performance:
Utilise a dedicated network port exclusively for receiving NDI streams, ensuring segregation from other network traffic.
In a multichannel setup, it is highly advisable to employ a 10G network port/connection for enhanced performance.
We recommend the use of Netgear AV switches and the application of the appropriate NDI profile when incorporating Just In Mac Lite NDI into your workflow.
License System
Please note that internet access is required to license your application.
The Just In Mac Lite NDI application uses an online licensing system for activating, deactivating, and checking your licence status. So, you'll need an internet connection for these actions.
Whenever you activate, deactivate, or transfer the licence, you'll need to be connected to the internet.
Once activated, the application checks your licence status once a month. You can therefore use the application extensively for your “in-the-field” productions before a new licence validation check takes place over an internet connection.
Version 6.5
The Just In Mac Lite NDI application has been improved to accommodate the latest macOS features and is fully macOS Sequoia (15.x), macOS Sonoma (14.7.x), and macOS Ventura (13.7.x) certified. It is highly recommended to use Apple silicon hardware when using the Just In Mac Lite NDI application.
Changes/Adjustments
New “Local Network” Settings within macOS Sequoia (15.x)
The new Local Network Security feature in macOS Sequoia (15.x) enhances privacy and control by allowing users to manage which apps can access their local network. This feature addresses concerns over unmonitored network access, providing an extra layer of security by ensuring that only trusted applications have access to local network resources, such as printers, file-sharing devices, and other computers. In macOS Sequoia, users are prompted when an application attempts to access the local network for the first time, enabling them to allow or deny access (“System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network”).
When running the Just In Mac Lite NDI application for the first time on macOS Sequoia you will be asked to allow it to discover and connect to devices or other applications on your network. Please click on the “Allow” button to ensure the application to connect to devices or other application on your networks.
To double-check the connection status, go to “System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network” and ensure that Just In Mac Lite NDI is enabled.
Easy Access to the Configuration Panel
In this new version, a Gear icon has been added to the Channel Inspector. This enhancement simplifies accessing the Just Control Configuration window, allowing you to easily adjust Channel Settings or create and modify Device Presets.
Additionally, a new Uninstaller application is available within the just:in mac lite NDI installation DMG file. Use this utility if you need to restart the configuration from scratch or to completely remove just:in mac lite NDI from your system.
