Please read before using the Just In Mac Lite NDI application!
The Just In Mac Lite NDI 2025 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:
Utilize 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.
Online License Activation Process
The Just In Mac Lite NDI application uses an online license system for activating, deactivating, and checking your license status. So, for any online activation process to work, you will need online access. Please ensure that this is available before starting the one-time online activation process.

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 is enabled.
