On the just:in Engine Linux server appliance you can find:

  • The basic Linux installation (centOS)

  • Video card driver (AJA or Blackmagic)

  • just:in Engine (TOA Media Engine = tme)

  • just:connect (tjc)

just:in Engine Linux and just:connect start automatically when the Linux system has been booted. If they are configured properly they can immediately communicate with a just:in User Interface.

The system can be accessed with following credentials via ssh.

User: justin Password: justin ssh justin@IP-ADDRESS

Network Settings

Blackmagic Firmware Updater

Only update the Blackmagic driver if you have issues with the system.

In some situations the Blackmagic video card needs a Firmware update. Verify if the card is working properly with the installed driver version by using the following command:

No Firmware update is required if all inputs display the status ok. If the status is not ok use following command to update the firmware. Restart the system afterwards.

BlackmagicFirmwareUpdater update [device]
