Warning

  • Do not install any additional applications on the Playout machine(s). Those could be: MenuMeters, Growl, Dropbox, Adobe CC, Notification Center widgets, Dashboard widgets, Google (the GoogleSoftwareUpdateDaemon causes issues) or any other background daemons. The only exception is Macs Fan Control on INTEL-based minis.

  • Once one of the ToolsOnAir components has been started, never change one of the settings described in this chapter. Changing any OS related setting during playout can harm the final output and even crash the engine.

  • Make sure that the applications just:out and just:connect are not started automatically using the “Login Items” functionality of the system preference pane “Users & Groups”.

...

Info

The System Preferences may look different on your system and may offer more/less fewer functions, depending on the macOS version and the hardware you are using.

General

  • Accent/Highlight colourcolor: The colors of the Just Control user interface are partially defined by the accent and highlight color set in the General System Preference pane.

  • Show scroll bars: Allows to define how the scrollbars are shown in the user interface. This can be especially important in case your input device does not support scrolling.

...

Info

If you are using a MacBook with a switchable GPU, make sure to deselect the Automatic graphics switching option.

...

Privacy: Make sure to allow just:out to access the Microphone. Otherwise there will be no audio at the output during a Live Event.

...

Sound

Sound Effects: Make sure to select the speaker of your Mac (“Mac mini Speakers” in the case), to play sound effects using this device. The same output is used by the just:live and just:play user interface (run in Just Control)when playing videos in the preview windows.

...

  • Remove all unnecessary network connections.

  • If you have multiple network interfaces: change the order of the connections so that the network interface you are going to use for ToolsOnAir internal communication is the topmost item in the interfaces list.

  • If a network-based AV router/switch should be controlled using Just Control, make sure the 3rd party hardware also uses the main network.
