9. just:connect

just:connect acts like a database and allows you to setup and manage channels, just:live/ just:play UIs and engines. Use just:connect to create channels, define the volumes and folders on your storage system (= repository folders) where the engine and UI look for data, manage users and make use of security/redundancy functions.

  • Engine Configuration: Use just:connect to configure just:out which does the final output.
  • Channel Setup: Setup and maintain a single or multiple channels using the same just:connect.
  • Rights Management: Control who may connect to a channel and what rights a user has to alter a schedule. In addition you can define passwords for each user for additional security.
  • Centralized Schedule: For each channel a single copy of the schedule is held by just:connect and sent to the clients.
  • Redundancy: Optionally a second just:out engine can be defined for each layer to act as a redundant playout node. In this case every change made in just:live/just:play will be sent to the master and the slave engine automatically.
  • Automatic Channel Backup: There is a backup feature that allows you to automatically backup all of your channels to a second destination.
  • Multiple Channels: It is possible to control a single channel but also several channels using a single just:connect.

 

The following pages will show you how to create a channel for the first time, but also how to add a new offline or online channel to the existing list of channels. In addition to the basic setup, we will describe how to add further functions to a channel using the "Expert User" mode.
