Preface
In Schedule Mode a Channel records files based on Calendar Events from the macOS Calendar application of the machine running the Just In Mac Lite application. You may use any Calendar which can be added to the macOS Calendar app, such as iCloud or Gmail Accounts or from other Mail/Calendar servers. Events scheduled in the corresponding/selected Calendar will automatically switch the Channel to Schedule Mode and start a Recording. When stopping a Schedule Recording manually, the corresponding Event will be deleted automatically.
...
| Warning |
|---|
When working in Schedule Mode, ensure that Just In Mac Lite is running at all times. New Events or changes to existing Events can only be received when Just Control In Mac Lite is open and connected to the appropriate Channel. |
Choose a Calendar for a Recording Channel
Start the Just In Mac Lite application and select a Channel. Switch the Channel Mode to “Schedule” and select the appropriate Calendar from the Calendar selection box at the very top.
...
| Info |
|---|
You can either use the Channel Calendar (will be created automatically when using the Plus (“+”) button next to the Calendar selection box) or any other available Calendar on that machine. Please be aware that the Just In Mac Lite application can only create a channel-specific calendar (using the Plus (“+”) button) when new calendars can be created locally. Please let us know if you need help in this regard. |
...
The Events will show up in the Inspector of Just ControlIn Mac Lite. Each Event will result in one Recording.
...
Please note that you cannot change the Date format within the “Language & Region” preference pane within the “System Settings” pane, as this will override the custom Date and Time settings applied above (macOS Ventura and later only).
...
Repeating Calendar Events
...
The Recording Event End Time can be changed during recording. This is especially useful if you have to make changes during an ongoing recording. Simply adapt the Event End Time in the Calendar application, and Just In Mac Lite will recognise the change accordingly.
Manually stopping a Scheduled Recording
...
The Scheduled Event list only shows the upcoming ten (10) events scheduled in the chosen Schedule Calendar provided that these Events are within the next 24 hours. All further Events are only visible in the Calendar itself and get displayed within the Just In Mac Lite application as soon as one of the previous recording Events has been completed.
...
As mentioned above, you can also work with shared Calendars (such as Gmail, iCloud, or any other Mail/Calendar server that can be added to the macOS Calendar application) in Schedule Mode. This enables you to use two or more machines for adding recording events to the appropriate Calendar. You need to make sure though that the machine running the Just In Mac Lite application has access to the Calendar and that the Just In Mac Lite application is running.
...
When using the Schedule Mode, the Timecode Source is an important setting , and should be chosen correctly to ensure a smooth operation.
Generally, all available Timecode Sources can be used for Schedule Mode. System administrators need to ensure that the Just In Mac Lite application is provided with the same Timecode Source as the macOS machine (NTP).
It is also possible to use an LTC source (AJA Capture Card LTC) for Scheduling as the scheduling. The Just In Mac Lite application can receive the required signal via the Timecode In (LTC) of the video device card and the machine running Just In Mac Lite can be configured with NTP.
