As described in previous pages, Event Presets are a very powerful and flexible way to extend a recording workflow. But it is not only possible to trigger single Events, Event Presets can be used to execute different tasks at once within one single Recording Event. For instance, an Event can trigger a recording on a dedicated Blackmagic Design HyperDeck, switch a Source on an AJA KUMO and execute a Bash Script. This page describes the set up workflow of such an Event. Preset

Configuration Panel

As always, the starting point is the Just Control Configuration panel. Once opened, select the just:in linux Device and switch to the “Events” tab, then make sure the “Devices” sub-tab is selected.

Open

First Event Devices have to be created, therefore let’s create an AJA KUMO, BMD HyperDeck and a Bash Script (for detailed explanation about how to create Event Devices, please take a look at previous pages).

Open

Once that is done, switch to the Event Presets sub-tab and create a new Event Preset.

Now it is possible to add multiple Event parts to the Event Preset. Select the “AJA_Kumo” Device and press the “Add” button. Then adjust the Destination and Source values accordingly.

Next select the BMD HyperDeck Device and press the “Add” button again. This adds another Event part to the Event Preset. Adjust the value to “Record”.

In the next step select the Bash Shell Script Device and press the “Add” button again. Now adjust the Bash code accordingly to your needs.

Finally set an Event Preset name and use the “Finish” button to save the Event Preset.

Inspector

Let’s test this new Event Preset. Switch back to the main user interface and set this new Event as Start Event Preset within the Channel Inspector and start the recording process.

The Start Recording Event executes all three parts of the Event Preset. It switches the Source for the Destination “4” at the AJA KUMO Router, it starts recording on the given HyperDeck and it creates a log file at the home directory of the just:in user at the just:in linux server.
