Apex guides: recording, timecode and NDI® workflows on Mac | Apex

To record an NDI® feed on Mac, share a visible reference or add assistance to a control room, start with the result you need. These guides explain Timecode Recorder and Dual AI Studio controls, followed by useful checks for your production.

Choose your path

• Record a reference: connect a source, choose Clock or Elapsed, finish a MOV and check its picture and sound.
• Understand timecode: distinguish visible burn-in, NDI data, a file track and LTC.
• Control with Companion: configure separate HTTP buttons to start, stop and read Timecode Recorder status.
• Use an AI assistant: prepare Tech and Perf analysis, inputs, voices and Dual AI Studio outputs.

Prepare a production with clear references

A preview, an active button and a reviewed file answer three different questions. Start with a short sequence containing movement and recognisable sound, then check each destination you use: file, NDI receiver or browser. For editing notes, always combine the filename with the visible reference and frame rate.

Product pages describe available versions and terms. Guide screenshots illustrate the interfaces; the steps help you configure your own workflow.
