Warning

Starting with version 4.0, Just Control communicates with the macOS Calendar application and therefore the application must have access to the macOS Calendar application. Upon its first launch, Just Control requests access to the macOS Calendar application.

If Calendar access hasn't been granted, follow these steps to enable Calendar access:

  1. Open the macOS “System Settings”.

  2. Select “Privacy & Security”

  3. Look for the Calendars option and click on it

  4. Look for Just Control and make sure that accessing Calendars is enabled.

Preface

In Schedule Mode a Channel records files based on Calendar Events from the macOS Calendar application of the machine running Just Control. 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.

...

The Events will show up in the Inspector of Just Control. Each Event will result in one Recording and the event name can be part of the actual file name. Please refer to the next chapter for more information regarding file naming in schedule mode.

Info

It is possible to add Events back-to-back without losing any frames.

File Naming

In v.6.1 of our ingest products we adjust the file naming for Schedule Mode. There is a new Clip Section within the Channel Inspector, already well known from Crash and Batch Mode. By introducing Naming Presets to Schedule Mode, operators can gain more flexibility when it comes to file naming and by also using the new Date and Time formatting options, also new in this version.

With that said, how is the actual file name in Schedule Mode get created? First there is the Naming Preset part, where standard Naming Presets can be used to align the naming for scheduled recording. Here the important thing is, that the “Name” token from the available tokens is referring to the actual event name. So, if there is a Naming Preset with this “Name” token only, then the file names will be reflected completely identical from the calendar events, such as can be seen below.
