  • Time Base: You can use a different time base for each Channel. In contrast, when using a single Just Connect all Channels would have to use the same time base.

  • Different Options: Usually there are some common denominators regarding the basic options of all Channels which one Just Connect manages. When using multiple Just Connect instances you can use Channels with different options.

  • Eased Maintenance: In case of a hardware failure a setup with multiple Just Connect instances may be easier to maintain. 

Setup Variants

Minimal Setup

  • Just Out, Just Connect and Just Control run on the same machine.

  • Most users will rely on this solution to do a Playout which only incorporates Video or Video with simple graphics.

Info

Using the optional failover:control (currently not available), we recommend to use Just Connect on the Redundant Playout Machine and not on the Primary, or on a complete separate machine like described below (Maximum Setup). This allows to execute the failover switch even in case the primary engine fails completely.

Maximum Setup

...

  • Multiple Just Out engines are available on the network.

  • The engines are managed by Just Connect which provides the Channel configurations in the network.

  • The users can connect to the Channels with the Just Control user interface.

  • This setup can also be reproduced in cases where more than one Channel is required.
