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.

| Warning |

When working in Schedule Mode, ensure that Just Control is running at all times. New Events or changes to existing Events can only be received when Just Control is open and connected to the appropriate Channel. |
Choose a Calendar for a Recording Channel
Run Just Control and select a Channel. Switch the Channel Mode to “Schedule” and select the appropriate Calendar from the Calendar selection box at the very top. Additionally, verify that the correct Naming Preset for Schedule Mode is selected as well.

Add Calendar Events for Schedule Mode
...
In version 6.1 of our capture productssolutions, 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.
...
Additionally, Naming Presets are now integrated into Schedule Mode, providing operators with increased flexibility in defining file names. This version also introduces new “Date” and “Time” formatting options, expanding customisation possibilities.
...
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.
...
| Info |
|---|
Please note that the “Name” token will be replaced by the actual Event name, once recording has started. |
...
Additional Functionality
Below, we elaborate on additional information and functionality.
...
Utilising a Naming Preset that incorporates “Date” and “Time” tokens ensures the generation of unique file names.
...
Maximum Event Length
It is not possible to use Calendar Events, that exceed a length of 12 hours. Just Control will truncate the Recording length automatically if required.
...
Adjustable Event End Time while Recording
...
Quitting Just Control results in the application no longer receiving updates or new Events. It is necessary to have Just Control open all the time when using Schedule Mode for a Channel.
...
| Note |
|---|
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 Linux Engine (tme and tjc service) as well. |
Working with shared Calendars in Schedule Mode
...
Generally, all available Timecode Sources can be used for Schedule Mode. System administrators need to ensure that the just:in linux engine 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 linux Engine just:in linux engine application and the machine running the Just Control User Interface need to have the same NTP server configured.
It is also possible to use an LTC source (AJA Capture Card LTC) for Scheduling. The just:in linux 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.
| Note |
|---|
Please note that the Timecode Source cannot be changed once Calendar Events are created, as the Events are stored with the provided Timecode information as a reference to the Source. Therefore, ensure that the correct Timecode Source is selected before commencing scheduling for recording events. |
