Just Out: this is the Playout Engine which does the final output and therefore should never be quitted.
Just Connect: this is the software which receives and sends information from and to the just:play user interfaces which are connected to the Channel. just:connect is also responsible for intercommunication between interface(s) and just:out Playout Engine(s).
Just Control: this is the graphical user interface which allows you to prepare a time based rundown, which will then be played out automatically.
Add the applications Just Out, Just Connect and Just Control to your Dock.
We assume that – in this scenario – just:out, just:connect and just:control are all running on the same machine. For more advanced setups with multiple machines distributed over the network, please refer to the Playout v3 Administrator Manual. |

Start Just Control which will automatically display the User Login window. We recommend keeping the defined username for now.
