All configurations discussed 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 for all individual user 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.
ToolsOnAir and its global partners offer support and assistance during the setup phase, but are not liable for any errors or failures resulting from incorrect configurations not carried out by them or inadequate testing performed by the End User.
Hardware setup(s), 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 deployment.

1 Although all Apple silicon models (M1-M5) are powerful enough to perfectly run a playout channel, we would recommend using them for testing purposes only.
Although some Macs can operate without a display connected to the graphics card, we strongly recommend connecting a basic HDMI display emulator or an EDID/DDC emulator—such as the Lindy EDID/DDC Emulator when using a KVM system—to the Mac running the Just Out application.
