As mentioned in previous chapters, Event Presets are a powerful and flexible way to extend a Recording workflow. But it is not only possible to trigger single Events. Event Presets can be used to execute different tasks at once within one single Recording Event. For instance, an Event can switch a source on an AJA KUMO and execute a Bash. This chapter describes the steps to create such an Event.
Configuration Panel
As always, the starting point is the Just Control Configuration panel. Once opened, select the just:in linux Device, switch to the “Events” tab, and verify that the “Devices” sub-tab is selected.
First, Event Devices have to be created, so let’s create an AJA KUMO and a Bash Script Device (for a detailed explanation about how to create Event Devices, please refer to previous chapters).
Please be aware that Event Device can be easily renamed by simply double click on the Event Device Name.
Once this is done, switch to the Event Presets sub-tab to create a new Event Preset.
You can now add multiple Event parts to the Event Preset. Select the “AJA Kumo” Device and press the “Add” button. Then adjust the “Destination” and “Source” values accordingly.
As a next step, select the Bash Shell Script Device and press the “Add” button again. This adds another Event part to the Event Preset. Adjust the Bash code according to your needs.
We’re almost done. Finally, set an Event Preset name and click on the “Finish” button to save the Event Preset.
Inspector
Let’s test this new Event Preset. Switch back to the main Just Control user interface and set this new Event as a “Start Recording” Event Preset within the Channel Inspector and start the Recording process.
The Start Recording Event executes both parts of the Event Preset. It switches the Source to Destination “4” on the AJA KUMO Router and creates a text file on the Mac's Desktop.
