You must unlock the Configuration panel first to perform any changes.
Before proceeding, you must stop the Channel by deactivating the checkbox. Stopping the channel will also stop the Just Out Primary engine output, unless there is a Redundant engine available.
A Channel can receive a “live signal”, or play out a Fill+Key signal. The functionality may differ, depending on the used video device or streaming format. Please refer to the dedicated Chapter 5a. Live Input Signal Handling (v.2026.x) for more information regarding this.
Activate Live Input
Stop the desired Channel by deactivating the checkbox in front of it. Stopping a Channel will also stop the Just Out engine and therefore the final output.
Select the Channel in the “Devices & Channels” list.
Click on the “Format” tab.
Select the desired method in the “Live Input” drop-down menu. The methods are explained below.
Activate the checkbox in front of the Channel to start it again and to take over the changes you just made.
Close the Just Control Configuration panel and drag the Channel from the “Connections” tab to the Multi viewer area, or select the empty viewer you would like assign the channel to, then select the Settings tab in the Inspector and choose the channel under “Contents” - “Channel”.
Live Input Methods
Off: Select this setting for a simple video only playout server with no incoming signal attached or in case you would like to play out using Fill+Key. The default output is black.
On, default black: Select this setting in case there is a “live signal” available which you would like to “pass-thru” to the available outputs while a live event is scheduled. The default output is black in case nothing is playing in the timeline.
On, default pass-thru: Select this setting in case there is a “live signal” available which you would like to “pass-thru” to the available outputs while a live event is scheduled. The default output is the signal which is attached to the “SDI 1” input in case no playlist is playing in the timeline.
Activate Fill+Key
The ability to play out Fill & Key requires an AJA/BMD device or a streaming format which supports it.
Stop the desired Channel by deactivating the checkbox in front of it. Stopping a Channel will also stop the Just Out engine and therefore the final output.
Select the Channel in the “Devices & Channels” list.
Click on the “Format” tab.
Under Output Format select the Format you would like to use for your channel and make sure, to select RGBA instead of 8- or 10-Bit. This allows the engine to process and therefore to output the alpha channel information on a separate SDI output or with the stream.
Activate the checkbox in front of the Channel to start it again and to take over the changes you just made.
Close the Just Control Configuration panel and drag the Channel from the “Connections” tab to the Multi viewer area, or select the empty viewer you would like assign the channel to, then select the Settings tab in the Inspector and choose the channel under “Contents” - “Channel”.
