This chapter describes the Channel Settings for a just:in linux channel and how to enable a Channel for Recording, once it has been configured.
To perform any changes, you have to unlock the Just Control Configuration panel on the bottom left first.
What is a Channel?
A Channel is a virtual representation of a Video Device or an NDI®5 or SRT Source within the network. Depending on the number of inputs, you can configure one or multiple Channels.
Depending on the available inputs, the just:in linux Channel settings can look slightly different for:
SDI/HDMI Inputs
NDI®5 Inputs
SRT Inputs
You can find information about all three different Channel Input types at the next pages.
Add/Remove an NDI®5 or SRT Channel
You can add or remove an NDI®5 or SRT Channels at any time. Open the Just Control Configuration panel and select one of the connected just:in linux devices. Then use add the Plus (“+”) button to add a NDI®5 or SRT Channel.
A new window appears, where an IP Address and Port are prefilled. Verify that this IP Address matches the just:in linux IP Address and press the “Add” button.
If the IP Address is not displayed correctly, please adjust it and contact us. We will then try to remote into the machine and check what is going on with the network settings.
Once the new Channel is added, you can adjust the settings and enable it so that you can use it within the Just Control client application. To remove an NDI®5 or SRT Channels, select the Channel within the “Devices & Channel” list and press the Minus (“-”) button.
Please note, that only NDI®5 or SRT Channel types can be removed from a Device.
Starting/Stopping a Channel
After changing the settings of a Channel, you have to enable it again by clicking on the corresponding checkbox. You can only activate Channels with valid Video Modes.
Once the Channel is activated/enabled, it will be available in the “Connections” tab within the Just Control Inspector. To change Channel Settings, deactivate the desired Channel(s) by unchecking the corresponding checkbox(es) on the left side of the Just Control Configuration panel.
