Some broadcast stations must be able to add Audio- and Graphics-based emergency alerts to their broadcast signal using an emergency alert system. The DASDEC Digital Alert System can receive such a signal and pass it over to just:connect which uses just:out to add the Audio and Graphics information to the output signal.

Configuring the EAS Option in just:connect

  1. Make sure EAS is activated for the desired Channel. You can also use Demo mode to test EAS.
  2. Select the Channel you would like to configure to communicate with the EAS device.
  3. Click on the Advanced tab in the configuration area.
  4. Click the Configure button to open the EAS configuration window.

Info
  • The FX Layer and the Audio Layer which have been selected to be used for emergency alerts are not visible in the user interface and therefore cannot be used for any other content.
  • With composition:builder v4 or higher it possible to generate EAS Alerts which match the look of your broadcast station. ToolsOnAir can provide a generic emergency alert Graphics template or customise the template. Please → contact us if you are interested.
