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:

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 that 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.
...
File Naming
In version 6.1 of our ingest capture products, we have improved the file naming functionality specifically for Schedule Mode. Notably, we have introduced a new Clip Section within the Channel Inspector, a familiar feature from Crash and Batch Mode.
...
This particular Naming Preset exclusively utilises the “Name” token. As a result, it identically reproduces the scheduled Event Name in an identical manner.
...
Within the provided Calendar, users can create a new Event. When employing the previously mentioned Naming Preset, the file name for this particular Event will be automatically set to match the corresponding Event Name.
...
Upon returning to the Channel Inspector, operators will find the newly created scheduled Event listed in the Schedule list. The Event Name will be visible in this section. It is important to note that the “Resulting Filename” label currently displays “Name” because the recording has not commenced. Once the scheduled Event undergoes recording, the accurate file name will be showcased in this field.
| Info |
|---|
Please be aware note that the “Name” token will be replaced by the actual Event name, once recording has started. |
...
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 Just Control as soon as one of the previous recording Events has been completed.
...

Please note that you will see unexpected behaviour after quitting and restarting Just Control, while a Channel is currently recording scheduled events in Schedule Mode. If Just Control gets restarted , though, please ensure that you restart the Just In Engine application as well. |

When using the Schedule Mode in just:in ( macand linux), 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 engine (mac and linux) are provided with the same Timecode Source as the macOS machine, where the Scheduling process (Just Control User Interface and macOS Calendar application) is running. For instance, when using an NTP Server as a source (i.e. ”Computer Time”), then the macOS machine running the Just In Engine application and the machine running the Just Control User Interface need to have the same NTP server configured (this also applies to just:in linux).
It is also possible to use an LTC source (AJA Capture Card LTC) for Scheduling. The just:in engine can receive the required signal via the Timecode In of the video device card, and the machine running Just Control can be configured with NTP.
