13.12 Checking the Properties of an Engine (v3.0)

It is possible to check the properties of a Just Out engine, even when the engine is running on another machine. This is useful in situations where you would like to know more about the hardware an engine is running on.

1. Stop the desired Channel by deactivating the checkbox in front of it. Stopping a Channel will also stop the Just Out engine and therefore the final output.

2. Select the Channel in the Devices & Channels list.

3. Click on the Layers & Engines tab.

4. Select an existing engine and choose Properties.

   Open

   

5. A window appears showing you all the details of the machine and the video device which is used by the engine.

   Open

   

6. Close the window when you’re done.

7. Activate the checkbox in front of the Channel to start it again and to take over the changes you made.

8. Close the configuration window and drag the Channel from the Connections tab to the Multi-viewer area.
