What's new for NAB 2025 Capture Solutions
We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2025.2 versions of just:in mac, just:in mac lite, and just:in mac lite NDI - the most versatile capture solutions for macOS available for the high-performance Apple silicon M1-M4 hardware.
At ToolsOnAir, we constantly strive to innovate, providing broadcasters, post-production professionals, and media enterprises with the most efficient, scalable, and user-friendly tools available.
With new and enhanced features, improved performance, and expanded integrations, the 2025.2 releases of the just:in mac solutions line provide even greater control over your capture process - from multi-camera or live productions to cloud-based and remote workflows.
This release introduces two new Container Types, Classic QuickTime and Harmonized QuickTime, designed to streamline growing file workflows for MOV containers within Adobe Premiere Pro 25.x and Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 19.x.
NEW Classic QuickTime: This MOV-based container type enables Adobe Premiere Pro users to manage growing files with the same efficiency as with MXF containers. Files expand seamlessly within the timeline, allowing for simple extension through drag-and-drop functionality. Classic QuickTime is available for HD-based Capture Presets.
NEW Harmonized QuickTime: just:in mac 2025.2 is currently the only macOS-based multichannel capture solution offering native growing file support for DaVinci Resolve within the MOV container. This integration enhances workflow efficiency, making it an ideal companion for any DaVinci Resolve 19.x editing system. Harmonized QuickTime is available for HD-based Capture Presets.
The just:in mac 2025.2 solution line is currently the only macOS-based multichannel capture solution offering native growing file support for DaVinci Resolve within the MOV container.
NEW Multi Just Control Support: with this update, multiple Just Control applications can now connect simultaneously to a single Just In Engine and Channel. This improvement extends access beyond the capture operator, enabling multiple users and machines to connect and monitor production in real time. It opens the door to more efficient workflows, fostering improved collaboration and oversight.
ENHANCED SRT and UDP Audio Channel Support: the new release of just:in mac 2025 enhances our industry-leading capture solution. This update marks a substantial advancement in SRT and UDP support, now enabling the processing of up to 16 channels of discrete audio. Furthermore, just:in mac 2025 delivers notable improvements in performance and stability for SRT and UDP recording workflows. This enhancement solidifies just:in mac 2025 as the premier capture solution on the macOS platform within the professional broadcast market, offering unparalleled SRT and UDP recording capabilities.
ENHANCED ProRes 4444 XQ Support: just:in mac v.2025 also expands codec support with the addition of ProRes 4444 XQ, further enhancing compatibility with a wide range of codecs and containers.
ENHANCED REST API: the robustness of the REST API was improved in this version and third-party integration enhancements were implemented. Enjoy a more effective and responsive application that ensures that your capture process runs smoothly, even during demanding broadcasts.
What's new for NAB 2025 Playout Solutions
At NAB 2025, we will announce version 2025.1 of our playout solutions, exclusively supporting Apple silicon. By fully transitioning to the Apple silicon platform, we ensure optimal performance, stability, and compatibility with the latest advancements. Nevertheless, we will, of course, continue to support our customers who still have certified Intel machines running qualified versions of just:live and just:play.
NEW Rewritten Processing Pipeline: the new version 2025.1 introduces an entirely new low-latency processing pipeline, significantly reducing the delay for most finished actions. This means that tasks such as jumping to the next item in just:play, starting or stopping media in just:live, or changing properties are reflected on-air much more quickly. Additionally, if an input source is too slow, such as when playing a movie from network-attached storage with an insufficient connection the last valid frame will now be repeated until frames can be provided at the correct frame rate.
NEW Support for HTML-based graphics: just:play/live 2025.1 is set to revolutionize on-air graphics by introducing dynamic HTML Graphics Template Rendering Support on macOS. This new feature seamlessly integrates with leading web-native platforms such as singular.live, Viz Flowics and SPX offering broadcasters and live event producers more flexibility and creative control than ever before. This seamlessly integrates with the graphics capabilities our customers have been using since day one. Whether it's a simple station ID overlay or complex, animated, multilayer real-time graphics created with our Composition Builder application, the process remains the same. Simply paste the URL of the HTML graphics into an available graphics track, allowing our playout engine to receive the HTML graphics output from one of the supported platforms. Using the solution's web-based user interface, you can create or modify graphics on air in real-time.
ENHANCED Support for mixed frame rate: since the release of our first playout engine, it was possible to mix movies using a different container format, compression, pixel sizes and aspect ratio. We also allowed movies in progressive or interlaced, independent of the field order. The only limitation was, that the frame rate of the movie had to match the frame rate of
