Designed for flexibility and ease of use, it delivers the essential playout capabilities needed in live broadcast or production environments, making it the perfect choice for teams looking for professional performance at an accessible entry point.

Static and Realtime Graphics

From simple lower-thirds to interactive realtime graphics, the Just Live Lite application gives you the flexibility to enrich any production.

It seamlessly integrates third-party data sources, enabling automated updates for news tickers, stock exchange, or weather forecasts information.

With Fill & Key (SDI) compatibility for singular.live, Viz Flowics, and SPX templates, Just Live Lite ensures your live productions are dynamic, visually engaging, and ready for professional broadcast environments.

SDI, NDI®, SRT, UDP and ST-2110 Support

Deliver broadcast-quality playout in SD, HD, and UHDp60 with full support for SDI, NDI®, SRT, UDP, and ST-2110.

Powered by qualified Apple silicon hardware and AJA and Blackmagic Design for SDI I/O, the Just Live Lite application ensures maximum flexibility and the reliability professionals demand for any live production environment.

Switch to Incoming Live Signal

A key part of the daily production routine reflects the ability to include incoming signals to the signal chain for external feeds such as interviews or breaking news.

The Just Live Lite application seamlessly handles incoming live input signals—such as studio feeds or satellite sources—and routes them directly to SDI or any supported streaming output, ensuring smooth integration into your live production workflow.

Growing File Playout Support

Instant playout of growing files in Live Productions.

This allows the operators to access and play out files while the recording is in progress and is a great way to accelerate your workflow during a Live Show.

Mixed Framerate Support

Videos encoded with a standard broadcast timebase play out smoothly, with every frame automatically matching the selected channel’s timebase for perfect synchronization.

This guarantees that your playout remains stable and frame-accurate, even in demanding live production environments, reducing the risk of dropped frames or sync issues and maintaining the highest broadcast quality standard.

SDR, HDR, Color Space Support

With full support for both SDR and HDR content, the Just Live Lite application empowers you to deliver broadcasts with stunning visual fidelity and reliability. Its advanced color space handling ensures every live production plays out seamlessly, giving you the confidence to meet today’s and tomorrow’s broadcast standards.

HOW TO TRY

You are welcome to download a demo version of our latest Just Live Lite 2025.3.0.GM.1461 release, by clicking on the “Download” button below.

The trial version of the Just Live Lite application is fully feature enabled, but will apply a watermark to all playout signals or streams at a given interval.

Please fill out the form fields below to receive your requested download link by separate email.





HOW TO BUY

To run a watermark-free version of the Just Live Lite application, please click on the “Purchase” button.

The Just Live Lite application sells for 890 EUR/USD and includes a 1-channel video and GFX playout license. This is a Software license only and does not include any Mac or video device hardware (to be purchased separately).

If you are ordering as a company, please ensure that you provide your VAT ID, Tax Exemption ID, GST ID, or ABN where appropriate so that the correct purchase price is displayed.

Upon successful payment, you will receive a permanent Activation Code at the time of purchase.

To cross-grade a Just Live Lite license to a just:live pro 2025 solution license, please contact the ToolsOnAir sales department at sales@toolsonair.com or one of the authorized ToolsOnAir resellers in your region.

HOW TO LICENSE

The Just Live Lite application comes fully featured in Demo Mode but does not activate automatically, resulting in a ToolsOnAir watermark to be applied on all playout signals or streams. Upon purchasing a license, you will receive an activation code to remove the watermark.

Once you've purchased a Just Live Lite license online, you'll receive an immediate activation code after payment has been validated. If you already have the Demo Version, go to the "Activation" tab and enter your activation code. Otherwise, click on the "Download" button below to install the Just Live Lite application, and follow the activation instructions.

Copy and paste your ToolsOnAir activation code into the "Activation code" field and press "Enter" or "Activate." A successful activation changes the status  from "Yellow" to "Green," with a popup confirming the successful activation.

The Just Live Lite application utilizes an online license framework which requires an internet connection for activation, deactivation, license transfer, and license status verification.

After the successful activation, the application verifies the license on every restart to ensure an easy yet secure operation.

Please click on this link for additional information about the Activation process.
