Sound

  • Define which audio output is used by the OS for playing system sounds. The same output is used by the just:live/just:play UI when playing movies in the preview windows.
  • Add an audio device like the iMic to the setup, in case the Mac does not have any audio input device.
 


Warning

Never select the AJA/Blackmagic Design video device as input/output device. Rather select the internal speaker/ line-out as input/output device.

  • Delete all unneeded network connections here and change the order of the connections so that the IP address you are going to use for ToolsOnAir internal communication has the main priority (i.e. topmost item in the list).
  • If a network based router/switch should be controlled using just:live/just:play, make sure the 3rd party hardware also uses the main network.

App Store
