Preface

Purchasing a playout solution from ToolsOnAir gives you access to the Just Out Engine with a certain number of Video- Realtime FX- and Event Layers, as well as an unlimited number of Audio Layers. There are two other software packages which come free of charge with your purchase: Just Connect and Just Control (the “user interface”). These applications can be installed on any number of network connected machines, thus enabling you to set up Multi Channel Environments in different ways. In addition you may also work on the same Channel concurrently using several Just Control user interfaces on different machines. Using Just Control with a playout engine allows you to choose from two different playout user interfaces called just:live and just:play.

Just Control: just:live User Interface – Live Production Playout for Video and Realtime Graphics

The just:live user interface streamlines the Playout of Videos and realtime Graphics in any live environment while maintaining full control over the situation.
