Video

Video table consists of Events and Thresholds associated with the Program Video.

IDNameEvent ErrorDescription

38

Black Frame Detection

Video Black Frame

When the content on a freeze-frame is very dark, it is a Black frame.
Black frame detected for a more extended period of time than configured.

43

Detect Decoding Errors

Decoding Error

This event is triggered if there is a segmentation fault in a decoder process or unable to decode due to other reasons. Decoding errors could be caused due to errors in the content in the stream or other issues.

Notification for decoder errors; may be related to transport errors or compliance problems with the encoded payload.

49

Black Frame with Logo Detection

Logo Frame

Black frame with a corner logo detected for a longer period of time than configured.

59

Freeze Frame

Freeze Frame

Freeze frame compares two frames, which may or may not be consecutive to ensure no change.

Freeze frame detected for a longer period of time than configured.

60

No Video

No Video

No video on input.

*If there is no input stream, there is no video or audio, and the matching events will be triggered.

84

Video Bitrate, Max Threshold

Video BR above Max

Detected video bitrate is greater than the configured maximum threshold.

1 in max threshold is equal to 101%, and 125 is equal to 225%

85

Video Bitrate, Min Threshold

Video BR below Min

The detected video bitrate is smaller than the configured minimum threshold.

116

Detect Color-Space Mismatch (ex, YUV422 instead of YUV420)

Color Space Mismatch

YUV420 is used by devices such as set-top boxes. The quality of the color is a quarter of the luminance of the video, and there is a latency between the luminance and color.

For YUV422, the quality of the color is only half of that of the luminance value and has lower latency.

If the received color space type does not match the configured type, the event will be triggered.

117

Detect Video Codec Profile/Level Mismatch

Video Codec Profile

Received video profile or level does not match configured values.

118

Detect Video Aspect-Ratio Mismatch

Aspect Ratio Mismatch

It's a comparison of the received error value vs. the configuration.

The received aspect ratio does not match the configured ratio.

119

Detect Resolution Mismatch

Video Resolution Mismatch

The received resolution does not match the configured resolution.

123

Detect Frame Rate Mismatch

Frame Rate Mismatch

Received frame rate does not match the configured frame rate.

124

Detect Video Codec Mismatch

Video Codec Mismatch

Detected H.264 when MPEG-2 is configured or vice versa.

134

Missing SPS

SPS Missing

SPS is the sequence header and part of the payload. It provides details about the resolution and the frame. The Decoder cannot decode without SPS. Generally, SPS is sent only once for a few frames, either in a group or once in a while.

If the SPS interval is greater than configured or no SPS, the event will be triggered.

172

Video Blocking Detection - Scene

Video Blocking

Video blocking measurement for multiple frames (~20) is considered as a scene event. For the scene event, the Encoder B/W issues are examined. This is a relative measurement 0-100, where 0 is the best.

173

Video Blocking Detection - Peak

Frame Blocking

The measurement for a single frame is considered as a Peak event. The artifacts and errors in the content are examined. This is a relative measurement 0-100, where 0 is the best.

229

HDR SEI data

HDR SEI

HDR is the metadata that enables higher quality of color decoding.

230

HDR SEI data missing

HDR missing

This event is triggered when HDR info is missing.

234

Video PTS variance detection

Video PTS missing

PTS is the frame rate interval. The maximum, minimum intervals and the average value is measured within a second. These three values are expected to be the same. If not, the event is triggered.

320

Missing AFD

 Missing AFD

AFD defines the aspect ratio of the content.

When this info is not present, the "Missing AFD" event is triggered.

321

AFD Value Change

 AFD Change

Every time the file has changed, a notification with a previous value and the new value is sent.

374

Video Color Bars detected

Video Bars

Video Color Bars test signal is detected in the program.
