Preface

You can record Video signals on the fly in Crash Mode, i.e. you start and stop each Capture process manually.

Starting a Recording

  1. Make sure to have at least one valid Capture- and one valid Destination-Preset already configured and that at least one Channel is connected successfully.


  2. Select a Channel and open the Inspector (cmd + i or with the buttons on the right side of the User Interface).


  3. Make sure that the Channel is in Crash Mode and then select a Naming Preset, a Capture Preset and a Destination Preset. If you wish you may also adjust the other settings.

    Only Capture Presets which match the incoming Video signal will be shown here.

  4. Now hover over the Channel View and the Record button will show up. Press this button to start the Recording (shortcut: command + r).

    If the Record button does not show up, the Channel is either in Schedule Mode or a warning message shows up within the Channel View.

  5. An ongoing Recording is indicated by a red border around the inner area of the Channel View and a RECORDING message overlay.

Stopping a Recording

Click the Record button again to stop recording. The recorded clip will be available at the appropriate path in the filesystem (defined in the Destination Preset). To directly access the written clip double click on Destination Preset label in the Inspector. This only works if the just:in User Interface can access the storage location with the same path as defined in the Destination Preset (just:in mac only).

Doing Multiple Captures at the same Time (Multiple Capture IDs)

A Capture ID consists of a Capture Preset and a Destination Preset.

  1. Open the Inspector of the desired Channel.


  2. At the bottom of the Inspector add another Capture IDs by pressing the Add ("+") button.


  3. Select a Capture Preset and Destination Preset for each Capture ID.


  4. Start your Recording process as described above.

Make sure that the Capture IDs are recording to different storage locations or have different file name extensions (*.mov, *.mxf, *.ts or *.mp4).

Additional Features

Splitting Clips while Recording

Hold the option key while Recording and press the Record button to split the Recording.

End-of-Recording based on Timecode

While Recording you can enter a Timecode that is in the future to automatically stop a Recording on that given Timecode.

  1. Start a Recording.
  2. Open the Inspector.
  3. In the Stop on Timecode area enter a valid Timecode.
  4. Enable the Stop on Timecode feature.


The Record button will display that the Stop on Timecode feature is activated. Note that you can not stop the recording manually now. If you want to do that, disable the Stop on Timecode feature again.

Note that the Recording will stop immediately when enabling this feature with a Stop on Timecode which is in the past.

Concurrent Capturing

You may do multiple Recordings of a single Video source at the same time to the same or to multiple destinations. This feature is limited by the hardware specs of the machine running just:in Engine. We strongly recommend to do thorough testing before using this feature in a live environment.
