This chapter covers a basic overview of the Configuration panel. For a more in-depth configuration, refer to the following chapters:
Accessing the Configuration Panel
All settings of a channel can be checked in the Configuration panel without stopping the channel. To make any changes in the Configuration panel, you must first stop the Channel by deactivating the checkbox in front of it. Stopping the channel will also stop the playout engine and therefore the broadcast output.
In the Configuration panel, you can configure the Channel settings. The defined settings are then stored in the channel file. You can access the Configuration panel:
by clicking the Gear icon in the upper right corner of the Inspector
with the menu Channels → Show Configuration Panel
by pressing “Option-Command-,” on your keyboard
Configuration Panel Overview
Devices & Channels List
Shows the Channel which is administrated by this interface.
The checkbox in front of a Channel allows you to start or stop the Channel. This is required, for example, when changing the configuration of a Channel.
Configuration Area and Tabs
Click on one of the available tabs to change the setup of the Device or the Channel.
Device Configuration Tab
Select the Device in the “Devices & Channels” list first.
Device: Check the port configuration of your device.
System: Allows you to save a TOA System Profile without needing to stop the channel first.
Activation: Allows you to view or change the Activation information of your Device.
Channel Configuration Tabs
Select the Channel in the “Devices & Channels” list first.
Format: Allows you to change more general settings related to the output format.
Layers & Engines: Shows the activated Layers of the Channel and allows to change the configuration of the engine.
Repositories: Define the path(s) to Videos, Audio files, realtime Graphics and Playlists a client can use. The content of the Repository paths will show up in the Library of the Just Live Lite NDI user interface.
As Run-Log: Allows to define the attributes which will be written to the As Run-logfile at the end of each Video.
Advanced: Activate and configure advanced functions such as “Timecode offset” and “Re-sync engines”.
Just Live Lite NDI Settings
You can access the Just Live Lite NDI Settings panel via the menu “Just Live Lite NDI → Settings…”, or by pressing “Command-”, on your keyboard.
The “Reset Warning Alerts” button allows you to re-enable warnings if they have been previously turned off.
General
Show names for all items in timeline: Shows the names of all items in the Timeline as an overlay. If this option is deactivated, you can still hover over an item in the Timeline to see its name.
Show tooltips in the library: Deactivate this option to disable tooltips in the Library while moving the mouse pointer over entries. This option is enabled by default.
Poster frame cache: Defines the folder where poster frames will be saved. By default, poster frames are saved in the folder Poster Frames inside the Documents folder of the current macOS User. This option is enabled by default. Disable it to suppress the creation of new poster frames in the Workbench.
Synchronise in-point and poster frame for scheduled videos: Defines if setting a new in-point also changes the poster frame of the video, or not.
Advanced
Changing the “Hold time” value in the Settings, does NOT change the hold time for videos which are already loaded into the Workbench/Timeline, and only newly added videos will take over the new hold time. Select all videos in the Workbench/timeline and choose the “Hold and Cue/Play Next” function again, to take over the new hold time.
On Air view left of preview: When enabled, the On Air View is located to the left of the Preview View.
Video only keyboard mapping (F1/F3): Activate this checkbox to change the way the “F1/F3” keys should work. By default, pressing the “F1” key starts/stops the playout of the first Layer, the “F2” key starts/stops the playout of the second Layer, and so on. When the checkbox is activated, pressing the “F1” key starts the playout of the first Layer, and pressing the F3 key stops the playout. Pressing the “F1” key while an item is playing has no effect in this case.
Default next action for movies: This option allows you to predefine the default end action for every Video that is dropped into the Workbench. This preset can be overruled later for each Video element using the Inspector.
Hold time for 'Hold and Cue Next': This setting allows you to define how long the last frame of a Video will be “held” before the next clip will be cued.
Hold time for 'Hold and Play Next': This setting allows you to define how long the last frame of a Video will be "held" before the next clip will be played.
Default next action for Graphics (if available): This option allows you to predefine the default end action for Graphic elements that are dropped into the Workbench. This preset can be overruled later for each Graphic element using the Inspector.
Workbench double-click action: This defines the action which is executed when double-clicking an item in the Workbench.
Error display: This option allows you to choose whether error messages are displayed as small icons or as overlays within the On Air Window of the user interface..
