One App with 8 channels recording licence for only (excl. VAT)
The just:in mac lite solution lets you record up to 8 channels of SD, HD, or UHD video on a qualified Mac, with growing file support, in one flexible, single-application solution to cover the indispensable recording functions of broadcast and production environments that might not require the full feature set of our flagship ingest solutions or are in demand for a budget-friendly capture solution.
Streamlined and Comprehensive Setup
The setup of the just:in mac lite solution is streamlined, with a comprehensive guide seamlessly leading users through each configuration step. It’s worth noting that just:in mac lite supports AJA and Blackmagic Design video devices as well as NDI® inputs, with full support for production codecs such as Apple ProRes, H.264, H.265, and even XDCAM HD 422 MXF out of the box. Yes, you read it right – XDCAM HD 422 MXF support is also included in this remarkable package.
Essential Growing File support
In production scenarios where almost immediate access to the recordings is essential, the support for so-called Growing Files is indispensable. This allows the editors to access and edit files while the recording is in progress, and at the same time reduce additional post-production time. Growing Files recorded with the just:in mac lite solution are compatible with Apple’s Final Cut Pro, Adobe’s Premiere Pro (MXF container only) or Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve.
NDI® High Bandwidth Support
Full discovery and recording support for NDI® and NDI® HX source formats based on the open, low-latency video-over-IP protocol developed by NewTek™ and a registered trademark of Vizrt NDI AB.
Full HDR and Rec.2020 UHD Support
Full HDR metadata support (with HLG and PQ transfer characteristics) for Apple ProRes 422 HQ/MOV recording workflows for AJA and Blackmagic Design video devices.
Flexible Apple hardware acceleration encoding support
The just:in mac lite solution features the unique option to choose either CPU or hardware-accelerated encoding when using the recent Apple Silicon models. This is to overcome possible encoding limitations when using a combination of Apple ProRes or H.264/HEVC Capture Presets in the available recording channels. Please note that the Apple hardware acceleration for ProRes encoding is limited to progressive formats, therefore not supporting either interlaced formats or alpha channels.
Extensive Support for Timecode Input Sources
just:in mac lite supports various timecode sources to accommodate your needs: choose between Computer Time, LTC over Audio, Capture Card LTC, or the preferred SDI Embedded modes.

Closed Caption Recording Support
just:in mac lite supports CEA-608 (SD only) and CEA-708 (HD only) captions. The Closed Captioning Data is written into the closed captioning track of the QuickTime or MXF OP1a file.

REST API Support
With the introduction of REST API calls, a new avenue of integration has opened up, allowing you to seamlessly incorporate just:in mac lite into your tailored workflows. This new advancement empowers you to initiate recordings remotely, directly from external systems.
New Licensing Process
The licensing process has been redesigned and users can now seamlessly activate, deactivate, and transfer their licences between different machines, making the experience smoother than ever before.
