What is Just Control and what does it do?

  • Just Control is the User Interface to control & manage multiple Channels, available from one or multiple Just In Engine (Mac) applications within the network.

  • Just Control enables you to you create, modify & manage various device settings, capture & destination presets, metadata sets, marker presets, and event settings in a single Just Control Configuration window.

  • Just Control provides a Realtime Video, Audio, and Timecode Preview of the Channel and allows selecting Capture- and Destination-Presets for the selected Channel(s).

  • Just Control is used to execute Recordings, using one of the available Capture Modes.

  • The application has access (if granted) to the macOS Calendar application and can therefore receive scheduled recording events in Schedule Mode.

First Launch

Upon the first launch of Just Control, you have to log in (no password required to start) and then connect to a Device/Engine within the network. The following chapters explain how to connect to Channels and how to start Recordings.

Access to macOS Calendar

The Just Control application needs access to the macOS Calendar application to receive scheduled recording events when using the Schedule Mode. If you do not grant the application “Full Access” to the Calendar application, the Schedule Mode will not work as expected. When launching Just Control for the first time, macOS asks if you allow the application to access the Calendar application. Select “Allow Full Access” to ensure that Schedule Mode will work correctly.

You can change the permissions at any time within the “Privacy & Security” preference pane (“System Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars”) as shown below.
