just:control (5.1)

Following chapters explain the macOS based user interface just:control for the just:in linux and just:in mac engine. You will learn how to:

  • Connect to Channels (provided by a properly configured just:in linux/mac engine).

  • Customise the User Interface application (just:control).

  • Use the Inspector to select Capture Settings, adjust the Channel and to start/stop Recordings.

It is mandatory to configure just:in linux engine properly before just:control can be used.

What is just:contol and what does it do?

  • just:control is the User Interface to control multiple Channels available from one or multiple instances of just:in linux/mac engine within the network.

  • just:control provides Realtime Video, Audio and Timecode Previews from the Channels and allows to select your Capture- and Destination-Presets for the resulting Recordings.

  • just:control is used to execute Recordings, using one of the available Capture Modes.

  • The application has access (if granted at first launch) to the macOS Calendar application and can therefore receive scheduled recording events in Schedule Mode.

First Launch

Upon the first launch of just:control, you have to login (no password required to start) and to connect to a Device/Engine within the network. The following chapters explain how to connect to Channels and how to start Recordings.

just:control can only handle Channels with the same frame rate. When connecting to Channels with different frame rates, the Timecode displays will stutter every second.

Access to macOS Calendar

The just:control application has to have access to the macOS Calendar application in order to receive scheduled recording events when using the Schedule Mode. If you do not grant the application access to the Calendar application, the Schedule Mode will not work as expected. At the first launch of just:control macOS is asking if you allow the application to access the Calendar application. Press OK to make sure that Schedule Mode is working correctly.

You can change the permissions at any time within the Security & Privacy preference pane in the System Preferences of macOS, as shown below.
