  1. Timecode: displays the Timecode depending on the selected Timecode mode (see below).
  2. Channel View Border: when you click on a Channel View it gets a turquoise border which means it's selected. You may select multiple Channel Views by holding the command-key. This is useful if you want to change the capture settings of multiple Channels at once.
  3. Record Button (command + R): this button shows up as soon as you hover over a Channel. Press this button to start or stop the Recording on the particular Channel.
    • This button only shows up after selecting a valid Capture and Destination Preset in the Inspector. Refer to the just:in Engine configuration chapter for further details on Presets.
    • If the Record button disappears frequently: lower the resolution and/or framerate in the just:in Engine Channel Preview Options.
  4. Audio Bars: shows Audio levels.
  5. Status Display: shows the status of the particular Channel View (see below).

  8. Recording Mode: click to select the Recording Mode (see below).
  9. Upper Bar: displays the Capture and Destination Preset. If you have more than one Capture ID these areas will display "Multiple".


All Overlays of the Channel View resize automatically depending on the display resolution and the size of the Channel View. The dB scale of the Audio Bars will be removed completely once the numbers are becoming too small.
