13.25 Changing The Engine Assigned To A Layer

It is possible to change the engine which is assigned to the layer of an engine. This is useful in situations where you would like to use another engine than the one currently used for the final output, because the machine hosting the current engine is broken or the graphics should be added to the final output using a second machine (load balancing) or because several "channels" need to be controlled from a single user interface (just:live only).

To change the engine select the channel first and then activate the "Layers & Engines" tab. Click on an existing engine and choose the engine you would like to assign to this layer. Restart just:connect and start the new engine as well as all user interfaces connected to the affected channel after that.

 

To be able to change an engine, the currently used engine as well as the new engine must be shutdown beforehand.
