[JIM] Video Hardware Setup Change v.5.5

Once the initial setup of just:in mac is done, the configuration file is saved for the current available/connected video devices (AJA/Blackmagic Design). For instance, a just:in mac setup could look like this (e.g., AJA Corvid 88):

Open

But there are situations, where the video hardware gets changed because the current one is broken or simply because more inputs are required for the given workflow. This page describes the workflow of such a video hardware change.

Step 1 - Delete config.json file

Quit the Just In Engine and Just Control applications and open the following folder:

Then search for the “config.json” file. Duplicate this file for backup purposes and then delete the original one.

Step 2 - Change video hardware and install driver

Next, change the video hardware and if necessary, install the most recent AJA/Blackmagic Design driver. Once the system is up and running again, make sure that all video devices can be discovered by the operating system (AJA Control Panel or Blackmagic Design Desktop Video Setup application).

Open

Step 3 - Create new configuration

Now start both the Just In Engine and Just Control applications again. The engine application detects that there is no current configuration available (see Step 1) and therefore checks for connected video devices. Since we changed the hardware setup and installed a new driver, the engine application now finds an AJA Corvid 88 and a Blackmagic Design DeckLink 8K Pro. As a last step, complete the configuration according to your needs.
