As Apple moves away from the Mac Pro, ToolsOnAir validates Thunderbolt-based hardware configurations for reliable multi-channel recording.

With the discontinuation of the Mac Pro, professional video recording workflows on macOS are entering a new phase. For many broadcasters, production companies, universities, houses of worship, corporate studios, and live event teams, the question is no longer only which Mac to use, but how to build a reliable recording system around Thunderbolt, PCIe video cards, and external expansion chassis.

This is especially important for all just:in mac pro and Just In Mac Lite customers. Both products are designed for professional multi-channel recording, but the final system performance always depends on the complete hardware chain: the Mac, the Thunderbolt connection, the expansion chassis, the video I/O card, the video format, and the selected recording parameters.

Great to be at InfoComm Las Vegas and meet with technology partners, resellers, and customers.

It was also exciting to see the new AJA Video Systems Io Xpand in person. We can’t wait to get the first unit in our hands and start testing it with our ToolsOnAir solutions.

Thanks to everyone for the great conversations — see you again soon!

Coming Soon: ToolsOnAir Version 2026.1

We are approaching the release of just:in mac pro 2026.1, just:play pro 2026.1, and just:live pro 2026.1.

A major upcoming feature for both just:in mac pro 2026.1 and CORE I/O is OP-Atom support for Avid workflows. Our macOS-based and Linux-based recording engines will be able to create properly structured OP-Atom files for use with Avid Media Composer and Avid Interplay.

just:in mac pro 2026.1 will also include several stability improvements, workflow enhancements, and bug fixes.

The 2026.1 releases of just:in mac pro, just:play pro, and just:live pro will support AJA Driver Version 18. This will simplify deployment on current systems and address installation challenges experienced by customers using AJA 17.x drivers.

Version 2026.1 is currently targeted for release around July 1, 2026.

CORE I/O + iconik: Live Content, Immediately Visible

CORE I/O provides Iconik with an HLS preview stream during recording, allowing users to monitor incoming content directly within the familiar Iconik interface.
Alongside this live preview, CORE I/O delivers the editing proxy, growing proxy, and high-resolution file required for the complete production workflow.
