Just In Mac Pro · 2026 documentation

What's New v.2026.0

Version 2026 of the Just In Mac Pro capture solution for macOS is macOS Sequoia (15.7.x) and macOS Tahoe (26.x and higher) certified and fully qualified to run natively on the Apple silicon chipset architecture (M1-M5).

The combination of this highly efficient and powerful system architecture from Apple and our professional capture solution offers many advantages and benefits to both our customers and our future innovations.

Important: The Just In Mac Pro 2026 capture solution is optimized exclusively for Apple silicon hardware (M1-M5) to provide you with the best performance and experience!

By fully transitioning to the Apple silicon platform, we ensure optimal performance, stability, and compatibility with the latest advancements.

If you are planning to deploy Just In Mac Pro on qualified INTEL-based Macs (MacPro7,1 or Macmini8,1) please consider using version 6.5 or version 2025.1!

Nevertheless, we will, of course, continue to support our customers who still have certified Intel-based Macs running qualified versions of Just In Mac Pro.

What’s New in Version 2026.0

Just In Mac Pro 2026.0 introduces adaptive signal handling, redesigned presets, stronger IP performance, deeper monitoring, and expanded broadcast-format compatibility for professional recording on Apple silicon Macs.

Automatic signal-format detection and redesigned capture presets

Smarter Capture with Auto Format Detection

Channels can automatically detect incoming SDI or IP signal formats and configure themselves to match, reducing the need for fixed manual assignments.

Together with the redesigned capture-preset architecture, this enables faster setup, fewer operator errors, and greater flexibility across changing formats and frame rates. A clear Wrong Format warning and Inspector diagnostics improve operational safety when a configured input does not match.

Professional Metadata and Timecode Monitoring

New live overlays provide visibility into CEA-608/708 closed captions, OP-47 subtitles, and SCTE-104 markers during capture.

Enhanced LTC and timecode validation, including clearer invalid or frozen status indicators, helps operators identify metadata and timing issues before they affect recordings.

ARD and ZDF MXF profile support
