Configure the Linux Hardware
All Linux related settings like network configuration and storage settings should be handled by a certified ToolsOnAir partner. After that, it is normally not required to change any just:in linux related settings on the appliance, as every setting can be done via the macOS based Just Control client.
Number of available SDI channels
The number of the available SDI Channels depends on the specific just:in linux appliance. These are the appliances currently available:
JIL4-HDD or JIL4-SSD: 4xHD or 1xUHD (up to p60)
JIL8-HDD or JIL8-SSD: 8xHD or 2xUHD (up to p60)
JIL4-12G: up to 4xUHD (up to p60)
JIL8-12G: up to 8xUHD (up to p60)
Please note, that it is possible to handle specific channel/project requirement as well. Therefore please contact us directly.
NDI®5 and SRT Inputs
Additionally to the available SDI (or HDMI) inputs, it is possible to add NDI®5 or SRT input channels. This can be done within the macOS based Just Control configuration panel. Depending on the given license key, additional NDI®5 and/or SRT channels can be used alongside physical inputs such as SDI or HMDI.
Additional PCIe Cards
Depending on the just:in linux appliance, there are one or multiple PCIe slots available to add fibre channel or additional ethernet cards to connect specific storage systems to the just:in linux appliance.
The just:in linux appliances have two onboard 10Gbit RJ45 ports (JIL4 and JIL8).
Internal RAID
Every just:in linux appliance includes an internal RAID. The RAID level and the size of the internal RAID depend on the appliance itself and the given settings. The internal RAID can be used as main recording location or as fallback path.
The just:in linux server has an internal RAID configured, which is handled by a dedicated RAID controller. The internal RAID is mounted at:
/media/internal_raid/ingest
and shared via SMB at startup by default. The default user is "justin" and the default password is "justin" as well.
The internal RAID of every just:in linux server can be mounted on any SMB client within the same network. On macOS clients it can be mounted such as:
Just Control installation (separate macOS based hardware)
Just Control can be downloaded separately. Please consult the regular installation procedure described in the appropriate User Manuals.
Alternatively you can mount /media/internal_raid/tools at your macOS client and copy the Just Control application from there.
