You must unlock the Just Control Configuration panel and stop the channel(s) first to perform any changes. |
...
Stop the desired Channel by deactivating the checkbox in front of it. Stopping a Channel will also stop the Just Out engine and therefore the final output.
Select the Channel in the “Devices & Channels” list.
Click on the “Layers & Engines” tab.
On the desired Layer, open the drop-down menu in the column “Primary Just Out Engine” and select “New engine”.
Configure the Just Out engine according to your needs (see Engine Configuration below).
Activate the checkbox in front of the Channel to start it again and to take over the changes you just made.
Close the Just Control Configuration panel and drag the Channel from the “Connections” tab to the Multi viewer area.
Configuring a New Engine
After selecting a new Just Out engine, you can configure it in this window.
...
Network: Engine network configuration.
Name: Name of the engine.
IP address: IP address of the machine which is running this engine.
Port: Port that is used by this Just Out engine.
Heartbeat Timeout: Defines the number of heartbeats which can be missed, before a Just Out 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 an the output device.
Blackmagic: In case you have a Blackmagic Design device installed on the machine running Just Out and you would like to use this device as an the output device.
NDI: Selecting NDI lets you receive an NDI® stream as a live input and stream the final output as an NDI® signal using the network your machine running the Just Out engine is connected to.
Video buffer: Select a higher setting if the data rate needed to play out 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 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 Just Out engine.
Preview: Defines the Preview quality shown in the On Air window of the user interface.
Frame-rate: Allows you to specify the number of frames per second for the video Preview. This should never be higher than the native frame rate of the Channel.
Resolution: This defines the number of pixels used for the Preview. Select from one of the available values.
Quality: This defines the amount of compression that is applied to the uncompressed image before it is used for the Preview.
Apply new engine to:
Selected layer only: Applies the Just Out engine to the selected Layer only.
All non-assigned layers: Applies the Just Out engine to layers that do not have a Just Out engine assigned.
All layers: Applies the Just Out engine to all available Layers.
