Smarter Capture. Less Manual Setup.
The headline innovation in just:in mac pro 2026 is the newAuto format signal detection.
Rather than statically assigning each channel to a fixed input format, channels can now automatically detect the incoming SDI or IP signal and configure themselves accordingly. In combination with the newly redesigned capture preset architecture, this enables a far more dynamic, adaptable, and future-ready capture workflow for operators.
For customers, this means:
Less manual configuration
Faster setup in dynamic production environments
Reduced risk of operator errors
Greater flexibility across multiple formats and frame rates
This delivers a major advantage for broadcasters managing a wide range of incoming feeds, enabling a far more adaptive ingest workflow without adding operational complexity.
A More Intelligent and Transparent User Experience
just:in mac pro 2026 also improves operational transparency for live capture workflows. If an incoming signal does not match the configured channel format, the live input remains visible while a clear WRONG FORMAT warning is displayed, supported by detailed diagnostics in the Inspector.
For channels configured in Auto mode, the software automatically follows signal changes and informs the operator whenever the format changes. This creates a far more confident and user-friendly capture experience in real-world broadcast environments.
As IP-based workflows continue to grow, ToolsOnAir has further strengthened NDI support in just:in mac pro 2026 with an update to NDI 6.3, delivering improved performance and stability for NDI-based capture environments.
In addition, this new release includes a wide range of reliability enhancements, bug fixes, and performance improvements across format changes, diagnostics, memory handling, and overall channel stability.
More Monitoring Power for Professional Workflows
Broadcasters increasingly require more in-depth visibility into metadata, captions, subtitles, and timecode—and just:in mac pro 2026 delivers exactly that.
New capabilities include:
Live overlay monitoring for CEA-608/708 closed captions or OP-47 and SCTE-104 markers
Enhanced LTC and timecode validation
Clearer status indicators when the timecode is invalid or frozen
Together, these features help operators maintain confidence in mission-critical capture workflows while reducing the risk of unnoticed signal or metadata issues.
Enhanced ARD/ZDF MXF Profiles (HDF01a/b and XDF01)
For European broadcast environments, the new version introduces improved support for ARD/ZDF MXF profiles, enabling more seamless post-production workflows and improved compatibility with editing platforms such as Adobe Premiere Pro.
Built for Broadcast Professionals Who Need More
With just:in mac pro 2026, ToolsOnAir once again demonstrates why its macOS-based broadcast solutions are regarded among the most trusted and innovative in the industry.
This release is not just an update — it is a meaningful step forward for customers who want a more adaptive, more intelligent, and more robust capture platform on macOS.
Whether you are working in news, sports, live events, studio production, or compliance recording, or multi-channel capture, just:in mac pro 2026 gives you the tools to handle more formats, more confidence, and more demanding workflows with ease.
Multi-Channel Playout: Up to 4 Channels on One System
A key highlight in just:play pro 2026 and just:live pro 2026 is the new multi-channel playout capability, supporting up to four channels per system.
Users can now run up to four independent Just Out engine instances on a single system, enabling highly efficient multi-channel playout from one Apple silicon workstation. This approach delivers significant benefits for broadcasters and media facilities seeking to maximize output channel density, reduce hardware footprint, and build more cost-efficient playout infrastructures. A new setup wizard further simplifies configuration by guiding users through single- or multi-channel setups right from the outset.
Enhanced HLS Push Output for Direct Streaming Workflows
To further support modern streaming operations, just:play pro 2026 and just:live pro 2026 feature an enhanced HLS Push output. Built directly into the Just Out engine, this capability enables HLS segments and manifests to be pushed straight to a remote server via HTTP or HTTPS, with simplified configuration for platforms such as YouTube.
Because the streaming functionality is natively integrated into the ToolsOnAir playout engine, there is no need for any dedicated third-party application to route the signal through an additional software layer. This results in a more streamlined, reliable, and professional workflow, combining the proven stability of traditional broadcast playout with the demands of modern streaming delivery.
Enhanced Input and Output Format Handling
The 2026 release further enhances support for multiple input and output formats, including mixed configurations, providing greater flexibility when designing complex channel workflows. Whether managing diverse source formats, multiple outputs, or a combination of baseband and IP-based workflows, the new version enables users to adapt more easily to evolving operational requirements.
Improved Manual Interaction & Emergency Live Input Switching
The 2026 release introduces key workflow enhancements designed to increase operational agility. A standout feature is the implementation of video-layer visibility controls, which function as an instantaneous toggle for live inputs. When configured for live operation, hiding the active video layer automatically reveals the underlying live signal, enabling seamless switchover from scheduled content to breaking news coverage - and back again.
This approach establishes a highly efficient emergency broadcast workflow without requiring manual intervention. In addition, just:play pro 2026 now supports direct navigation to selected video files, allowing operators to jump instantly to specific assets. Together, these enhancements significantly improve response times and streamline navigation within complex playout environments.
Enhanced Multi-Viewer Capabilities for Control Room Efficiency
The multi-viewer layout has been significantly enhanced to maximize control room efficiency. Previously unused viewer slots can now be populated with customizable information widgets, including clocks, countdowns, timers, stopwatches, images, web pages, event timelines, and channel status indicators. This evolution transforms the multi-viewer into a versatile operational dashboard - serving not only as a confidence monitor, but also as a centralized hub for channel-related information and real-time situational awareness.
NDI 6.3 and Enhanced IP Workflow Support
ToolsOnAir continues to advance IP-based production and playout support with the update to NDI 6.3, delivering improved performance and stability for both NDI sources and outputs. Enhanced support for RGBA over NDI enables Fill + Key workflows with alpha channels for compatible receivers, providing flexibility for graphics-intensive environments and modern IP-based delivery.
