Before proceeding you must stop the channel by deactivating the checkbox in front of it. Stopping the channel will also stop the Just Out engine and therefore the final output.
Adding a Layer
You can add new Video, FX, Event or Audio Layers to an already existing Channel. This is primarily useful during testing to find out how many Layers are needed to do the final playout. Once a Channel is activated using the activation code, the number of Layers will be adjusted automatically.
- Select the Channel to which you would like to add a Layer in the Devices and Channels window.
- Click on the Layers & Engines tab in the configuration area.
- Click on the New Layer button and select the kind of Layer you would like to add.
- Make sure to assign a engine to the new Layer, like described under "Adding a New Engine"
Once a just:live/just:play user interface has connected to the Channel, the new Layer is immediately available. Nevertheless all existing Playlists must be remade to take over the new Layer. No new element can be dropped into the new Layer of all existing Playlists.
Removing a Layer
You can remove a Video, FX, Event or Audio Layer from an existing Channel. This is primarily useful during testing to find out how many Layers are needed to do the final playout. Once a Channel is activated using the activation code, the number of Layers will be adjusted automatically.
- Select the Channel to which you would like to add a Layer in the Devices and Channels window.
- Click on the Layers & Engines tab in the configuration area.
- Select the Layer you would like to remove.
- Press the backspace key.
- A warning window appears. Click Remove to remove the Layer.
Changing the order of the Layers
It is possible to change the orders of the layers in which they appear in the user interface.
- Select the Channel to which you would like to change the order of the Layers in the Devices and Channels window.
- Click on the Layers & Engines tab in the configuration area.
- Select the Layer you would like to move.
- Click the "Move Up" or "Move Down" button to change the order of the selected layer.
The visibility of the elements which are played out on the available layers is from top to bottom. Therefore a video playing in a video layer which is on top of an FX layer will make the FX element invisible by overlaying it.
Activate the checkbox in front of the channel to start the channel and to take over the changes you made.
The channel will be removed from the multi viewer interface and you have to add it to a viewer again by drag and drop of the channel to a viewer
