Just Connect acts like a database by holding all the information related to a channel and the same time it connects all Just Out engine(s) and Just Control user interface(s) which are related to a particular channel administrated by Just Connect.
...
Channel Repository: Just Connect holds all the information about a channel, like Format, related User Interface, used video hardware and so on.
Centralised Centralized Schedule: For each Channel, a single copy of the schedule is held by Just Connect, which is sent to the clients automatically.
Rights Management: Controls who may connect to a Channel and what rights a user has to alter a schedule.
Redundancy: Optionally, a second just:out engine can be defined for each Layer to act as a redundant Playout node. In this case every change made in just:live/just:play will be automatically sent to the Primary and the Redundant engine.
Automatic Channel Backup: There is a backup feature that allows you to automatically backup back up all of your Channels to a second destination.
