Once you are done with the configuration of the presets, close the just:in preference panel and restart the just:in Engine application. The engine application will start up and display information about each channel that has been previously activated in the preference panel. Congratulations. You are only a few steps away from your first recording!
If everything has been configured properly, the just:in Engine window will display the number of activated channels, the owner of the channel, the port number of the channel, the chosen video mode, the frames currently buffered and information about the engine’s status. By clicking on the Show channel log button you will be automatically directed to the log information for the given channel.
Arranging the just:in Engine window to be in front of others
If you want to arrange the just:in Engine diagnostics window in front of others, then select the option “Always on top” from the Window Menu of just:in Engine.
Connecting to channels over IP with the just:in User Interface
Start the just:in UI and click on the Connection-Button or just select a channel and press cmd + k. Then a new window appears where you have to enter the IP Address of the machine where the engine is running and then enter the port number of your channel. When you are done with this, press "Add" and the channel will added to the connection list. (Channel Name appears after first connection) Then you can press the connect button and the connection to the channel will be established.
Please make sure that you are using the correct IP Address and Port number.
Changing Channel Settings (Inspector)
You are now ready to proceed with your first recording. Select the appropriate capture and destination presets, then press the Record button. You will be recording in Crash mode.
Once you have connected a channel to the interface, you can see the incoming video stream, as well as the audio meters. Furthermore you can open the inspector by pressing on the settings button, which will appear when you move with your mouse inside the preview or you can simply select the channel and press cmd + i.
In the inspector your can set the file name, timecode source, metadata and the capture- and destination presets. To start a recording you have to select at least one capture- and destination preset.
The recording button appears as soon as the channel settings are ok.
Please make sure you have valid channel settings configured, unless the recoding button will not appear.
To start a recording, simply press on the record button or use cmd + r. When a currently recording channel is selected, the channel border will flash between red and cyan. You can stop a recording by using cmd + r or by just pressing the recording button again.
Multiselection
With v2.5 it is possible to change settings of two or more channels at the same time. Just select the channels and then press the settings button or hit cmd + i to open the inspector. Then make the changes and these are applied to all selected channels.
Please beware that when you select channels of different engines, the naming of the presets must be identical.
