Source Status
- Ramya Raman (Unlicensed)
The Source Status screen is designed to help the operator troubleshoot video streams using various metrics and identify specific events causing quality issues. Using this screen, operators can see the status of all the streams being monitored, filter by status severity, and then dive deeper into an individual stream.
Source Status allows you to view source details such as Channel Information, File Statistics, and Channel PIDs Tree View.
To view the detailed information about a Source and the source Event details, double click on one of the sources.
