Starting with version 5.5, both just:in mac and just:in linux solutions support Event Presets. Event Presets can be used to trigger Channel-related actions such as the Start, when performing a Split and/or to Stop a Recording. This page describes the configuration steps and workflow of BMD HyperDeck Event Presets that can be used to trigger start and stop recording actions on given Blackmagic Design HyperDecks at the same time as the actual just:in mac Channel(s) start recording. In this case, the dedicated Blackmagic Design HyperDecks will be used as backup recorder units.

Setup (Configuration Panel)

Your starting point is as always the Just Control Configuration panel. Open the panel, select the just:in mac Device on the left side, and switch to the “Events” tab. Then make sure the “Devices” sub-tab is selected. Next, press the Add button and then choose the “TCP” option from the “Device & protocol” list and adjust the “Timeout/Delay” option. Enter the IP address of the given Blackmagic Design HyperDeck to the IP address field and finally click on the “Add…” button below.

...

Repeat the step above to create another Event Preset to enable the Stop Recording event on that particular Blackmagic Design HyperDeck device (The value option should be “Stop”). You now have two available Event Presets.

...

Record Process (Channel Inspector)

Let’s go back to the Channel Inspector to set up the new Event Presets for a given Channel. Select a Channel and select the new Events as Start and Stop Recording Event Presets.

...

This configuration process can be done for each individual Blackmagic Design HyperDeck (Event Devices). Then multiple Event Presets (Start & Stop) have to be created and finally every just:in mac Channel executes these Events to trigger recordings on separate Blackmagic Design HyperDecks.

Setup HyperDeck Named Record (Configuration Panel)

In addition to the start and stop recording commands, just:in mac can provide the given Blackmagic Design HyperDeck with the file name as well. This makes the workflow even more useful, as the recording of just:in mac and of the Blackmagic Design HyperDeck have the same file name. To set this up, open the Just Control Configuration panel and switch to the “Events Presets” tab again. Repeat the steps from above, “TCP” as “Device & protocol” option, “timeout” value, and the dedicated IP address of the Blackmagic Design HyperDeck device. Then press the “Add…” button again. Next, choose “Blackmagic Hyperdeck Named Record” and click the “+” button next to the selection field.

...

The new Event Preset will be added to the just:in mac Configuration.

Record Process HyperDeck Named Record (Channel Inspector)

Let’s switch back to the Just Control main user interface and select the new Event Presets within the Events section (Inspector). The Stop Event can be the same as before. Next, start the Recording.
