...
Network: Engine network configuration.
Name: Name of the engine.
IP address: IP address of the machine which is running this engine.
Port: Port which is used by this just:out Just Out engine.
Heartbeat Timeout: Defines the number of heartbeats which can be missed, before an engine is defined as stopped. This can be useful in setups, where the heartbeat is missing due to an unreliable network.
Video device & output: Mode for the final video output.
Virtual: No dedicated video hardware is available for the final output on the machine running the Just Out engine.
AJA: In case you have an AJA device installed on the machine running Just Out and you would like to use this device as output device.

Video buffer: Select a higher setting if the data rate needed for playing the Video and Graphic files is high and/or the continuous data rate of your storage system is low. If your storage system can deliver a very high continuous data rate and the data rate needed to play the Video and Graphics files is low, you can select a small buffer. Buffer values above 6 seconds should be avoided because such high buffer values put additional pressure on the engine.

Quality: This defines the amount of compression which is applied to the uncompressed image before it is used for the Preview.
