Network TCP Port: This is the network TCP port used by Just Out when publishing its service over the network to Just Connect. By default this is set to 5509“5509” and must correspond with to the port defined in the channel it belongs to. It is possible to use any unused port between 1“1” and 65535“65535”, in case that port 5509“5509” is already used on this machine.
| Warning |
|---|
A port is an unique identifier for a service which runs running on a computer. If you are not sure whether a port is used available on your network or not, please consult your network administrator. |
As-Run Log Folder: If desired, Just Out can write a log file from the Playout playout to a predefined location.
Timecode Source: Here you can define where Just Out takes the Master Timecode from. Currently only Computer (NTP) is available, more options will be available soon.
| Warning |
|---|
When changing the preferences you must restart Just Out for any changes to take effect. Restarting Just Out will stop the final output for the time of the restart. |
Minimal User Interface
Just Out has no actual user interface, but only a Diagnostic window.

All Timecode relevant information like the Master Timecode source, the Master Timecode (with the difference to the Timecode source) as well as the amount of rundown information (in hours, minutes and seconds) Just Out stores currently (Playlist Buffer).

Just Out Engine Buffer
Usually Just Out buffers between 0.5 and 10 seconds of the uncompressed final output in the RAM to make sure the Playout playout can continue without dropping frames even under bad conditions. Because Buffer values above 6 seconds can put some additional pressure onto the system, the predefined values should only be changed after contacting your local Tools On Air ToolsOnAir partner, or the Tools On Air HelpDeskToolsOnAir Support System.
Bad Conditions
Bad Condition 1 | Bad Condition 2 |
|---|---|
The storage system is not fast enough to deliver the required data. This could happen because…
| The GPU isn't able to render the content fast enough, because the current Graphic is too complex. |
In both cases a buffer under run may occur and eventually Just Out will begin to drop Video frames.
Auto Eject (Render Guard)
If the Just Out buffer reaches a critical low state of 50% or less and stays there for more than 0.5 seconds, Just Out will automatically eject the most recently started Graphic. If this does not result in the buffer recovering to a non-critical state then all non-infinite Graphics will be automatically ejected.
...
The buffer status is shown in Just Out's Diagnostics window. Before the buffer status reaches a critical level the Auto Eject function steps in.
...
The buffer status is also shown in Just Connect...
...
and in Just Control.
...
The buffer status is shown in the control area, where 0% means an empty buffer and 100% a full buffer. The higher the value the better.
| Info |
|---|
It is possible to change the sensitivity of the Auto Eject function. In case on air Graphics keep being ejected every time you change an attribute, please → contact us to get more information how the sensitivity can be adjusted. |
