This chapter describes the Channel Settings for a Just In Mac Lite 2026 channel and how to enable a Channel for Recording, once it has been configured.
To perform any changes, you have to unlock the Just In Mac Lite Configuration window on the bottom left first.
What is a Channel?
A Channel is a virtual representation of a Video Device or an NDI® Source within the network. Depending on the number of inputs, you can configure one or multiple Channels.
Enable a Channel for Recording
After configuring a Channel, you have to enable it by clicking on the checkbox next to the Channel name. The Channel can now be used by the Just In Mac Lite 2026 application. When quitting and relaunching the Just In Mac Lite 2026 application, previously activated Channels will still be active, so there is no need to open the Just In Mac Lite Configuration panel and activate the Channels again. If you plan to run your Channels in “Auto” mode (with automatic signal format detection) you can select “Auto” from the Video Mode dropdown menu. This enables the automatic signal format detection and the Channel will automatically sense and recognize a proper broadcast signal and change the video mode accordingly.
To change the Settings of a Channel, you will have to uncheck the corresponding checkbox first. Please note that the Channel will then go offline and will not be reachable by the Just In Mac Lite 2026 application. Additionally, you cannot disable a Channel, if this Channel is currently in recording mode.
Once a Channel is enabled, it will be available in the “Connections” tab within the Inspector.
Change a Channel Name
The name of a Channel can only be changed when the Channel is disabled. First, make sure that the Channel is not enabled, and then click on the Channel Name (next to the Channel checkbox), adjust the name, and press the “Enter” key to confirm.
