This page covers everything regarding the Channel Viewer. The Channel Viewer looks the same for each Input type (SDI, HDMI, NDI and SRT) of the just:in linux engine.
Timecode: displays the Timecode depending on the selected Timecode mode (see below).
Channel View Border: when you click on a Channel View it gets a coloured (macOS Accent colour) border which indicates that the Channel is selected. You may select multiple Channel Viewers by holding the command-key. This is useful if you want to change the Capture Settings of multiple Channels at once.
Channel Recording Border: when a Channel is recording, then there will be a red border around the video preview area.
Record Button (command + R): this button shows up as soon as you hover over a Channel. Press this button to start or stop the Recording of the selected Channel.
This button only shows up after selecting a valid Capture- and Destination-Preset in the Inspector. Refer to the just:in linux engine configuration page for further details on Channel Presets.
If the Channel is in Schedule Mode, then you will not see the Recording Button.
Audio Bars: shows Audio levels (dB). Audio Channels depend of the Capture Preset(s) of the Channel.
Status Display: shows the status of the particular Channel View (see below).
Channel Info: click to switch between Channel Name, IP-Address & Port, Name of the current Recording or current Timecode.
Lower Bar: within the lower bar you can choose between different timecode options, turn on/off the audio bars and switch between different Channel info options.
Timecode Mode: click to select the Timecode Mode (see below).
Audio Bars: turn audio bars on/off.
Upper Bar: displays the current Capture- and Destination-Preset selection. If you have more than one Capture ID these areas will display "Multiple". When clicking on the "C" or "D" icon, you will see more information about Capture- or Destination-Presets.
Capture-Preset: displays the current selected Capture-Preset(s).
Destination-Preset: displays the current selected Destination-Preset(s).
