Just Control provides two areas with channel settings, the Just Control Configuration window and the Settings tab of the MultiViewer interface.
Just Control Configuration Window: provides more basic settings and the channel has to be stopped before a setting can be changed.
Just Control MultiViewer Settings Tab: provides additional settings and the settings there can be changed while the channel is running.

Gaps
...
Gap Playlist (just:play only): This Playlist will be played continuously in a loop as long as no other Playlist is defined in just:play for the Channel. The Playlist may contain any combination of Video clips, (Simple and FX) Graphics, as well as Live Video input. Do not loop or use infinite live events in a default Gap Playlist. Loops will be done automatically, and infinite live events could lead to misbehavior during a Gap.
Filler Movie: The Video defined here will be played in a loop in case the scheduled Video cannot be found or cannot be decoded. Make sure to select a filler Video which can be played on the machine running Just Out and that it is available using the same path. In addition, the Video frame rate must match the frame rate of the Channel. Otherwise, it will not be played out in realtime which also causes unsynchronized playout.
Watch Folder
...
Schedule Watch Folder: When enabled you can drop a ToolsOnAir compliant (!) XML file into this folder and Just Connect will automatically read the contents of this file. Just Connect will attempt to add the Playlist to the current schedule. A Playlist may only be added to the schedule if it does not overlap any existing Playlists in the schedule. If Just Connect is able to add the Playlist to the schedule it will also automatically send the updated schedule to any Just Out engines and any just:live/just:play user interfaces viewing the Channel.
Archive Files: Archive files allows you to define a folder where all Playlists will be saved, which have been dropped into the watch folder before.
Validate auto-duration Playlists: When Playlists are dropped into Just Connect's watch folder, Just Connect can automatically validate that the duration specified for the Playlists match their contents. This is done by reading the duration of each Video in a Playlist and summing the total duration. Note that this process can take some time to complete, depending on the number of Video items in each Playlist.
User Interfaces
...
By default, all interface clients can connect to a Channel based on the configured user rights. It is also possible to restrict the interfaces which are able to connect to a Channel. This is useful in situations where only certain machines should get access to a Channel. This can be done in the User Interfaces tab.
...
Repositories: Allows you to override the Repositories of the selected Channel.
Send Heartbeats: In certain situations (when using 3rd party software applications for example) it may be necessary to disable the heartbeat sent out by the user interfaces. Please → contact us before changing this setting.
Audio Monitor
...
Click on the button of the audio channel you would like to hear here in the user interface.
Errors & Warnings
...
Here you see all errors and warnings this channel has generated. You see the date and time the error happened as well as the kind of error. Click “Clear All” (or press cmd-w on your keyboard) to clear all warnings.
FX Layer (Infinite FX)
...
Infinite Graphics allow for showing a still image or a realtime FX Template on a FX Layer. Additionally, you can automatically hide an infinite graphic based on Finder colour tags, or based on your personal preference using the Inspector in just:live or just:play. This may be useful for commercial breaks, for example.
...
| Warning |
|---|
A .qtz or .composition realtime Graphics template used as an infinite Graphics must contain ONE stop frame, otherwise the Graphics will go off air once the composition reaches its predefined composition end. Refer to the composition:builder User Manual if you want to find out how to add a stop frame to your composition. |
Simple FX
...
Each channel comes with one simple FX layer, which can be used to show a still image as a Channel Bug and/or a Live Bug.
