Redundancy, Backup & Misc.

  • Redundancy: 

    • Full (2N): The Primary and Redundant engine are running all the time, so for every Primary engine you need a Redundant engine.

    • Flexible (N+1): A single Redundant engine is shared between several Channels. If the Primary engine for any given Channel stops sending heartbeats to Just Connect then the floating Redundant engine will be started for the Channel. In this scenario only one Redundant engine is available and it will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so if a second Primary engine fails, no Redundant engine would be available.

  • Backup Channel: You can define a backup folder for the Channel file which can be used to restore the Channel on another machine. Do not select an internal disk as the backup volume but an external/network connected volume so in case the internal disk fails only the original Channel file is lost and not the backup. Most customers are using an USB flash drive as backup location, so it can be moved to another machine in case the main machine fails.

  • EAS Alert: Use the Configure button to configure the connection to the DASDEC EASdevice. Simulate an alert by clicking on the Simulate Alert button which allows you to execute a previously saved EAS alert.

  • Schedule Watch Folder: When enabled you can drop a ToolsOnAir compliant (!) XML file into this folder and Jus Just Connect will automatically read the contents of this file. Just Connect will attempt to add the Playlist to the current schedule. A Playlist may only be added to the schedule if it does not overlap any existing Playlists in the schedule. If Jus Just Connect is able to add the Playlist to the schedule it will also automatically send the updated schedule to any Just Out engines and any just:live/just:play user interfaces viewing the Channel.

  • Archive Files: Archive files allows you to define a folder where all Playlists will be saved, which where dropped into the watch folder before.

  • Validate auto-duration Playlists: When Playlists are dropped into Just Connect's watch folder, Jus Just Connect can automatically validate that the duration specified for the Playlists match their contents. This is done by reading the duration of each Video in a Playlist and summing the total duration. Note that this process can take some time to complete depending on the number of Video items in each Playlist.
