All configurations in the following chapters are guidelines based on our internal tests and are subject to changes at any time without prior notice.
We cannot guarantee that these guidelines will work under all user specific requirements.
ToolsOnAir and its worldwide partners provide support and help during this phase but are not responsible for errors and/or failures that may occur due to incorrect setups or insufficient testing.
Hardware setup, third-party drivers, software and operating systems must always be tested thoroughly with the current trial version, provided free of charge by ToolsOnAir prior to the final installation.

1 Testing only. When using a Mac with a switchable graphics card, make sure to deselect the “Automatic graphics switching” option in the “Energy Saver” or “Battery” preference pane or window.
2 Please consult the graphics card vendor or Apple for more information regarding the compatibility of your graphics card.
Although it is possible to operate some Macs without a display attached to the graphics card, we strongly recommend attaching a simple HDMI display emulator or an EDID/DDC emulator such as the Lindy EDID/DDC Emulator (when using a KVM system) on the Mac running Just Out.
