   • Just Out provides the final output (Virtual, SDI, or NDI® stream). It renders the frames in realtime either on the host GPU (Graphics) or CPU (video file decoding) and should never be quit during playout operations. For more information, please visit: 8. Just Out (v.5.x)

   • Just Connect acts like a channel manager, receiving and distributing all the information related to a playout channel. It interconnects to all Just Out engine(s) and Just Control user interface(s) which are related to a particular channel managed by Just Connect. For more information, please visit: 9. Just Connect (v.5.x)

   • Just Control is the unified user interface for all ToolsOnAir applications. During the setup, the administrator can define which one of the two available solutions/user interfaces, namely just:live or just:play should be used for a specific channel. For more information about the just:live interface, please visit: just:live v.5 User Interface Manual
