Video Encoder Statistics

The following table lists the Video Encoder statistics (some only available when State is ENCODING): 

Video Encoder Statistic

Description/Values

ID 

The encoder's ID number: 0 or 1.

State

The current operating status of the encoder, either:

  • WORKING

  • AWAIT FRAMING

  • RESETTING

  • NOT ENCODING

  • STOPPED

  • FAILED

Up Time

The length of time the encoder is actively encoding (e.g., 1d22h5m41s).

Input Present

Indicates whether an input signal has been detected from the video source: Yes / No

Input Type

(only available when State is ENCODING) The video input in use for the encoder: HDMI or SDI.

Input Format

The input signal detected from the video source. 

HDCP

(HMDI only) The encoder's HDCP status: On / Off 

HDCP Authenticated

(HMDI only) The encoder's HDCP status with authentication: On / Off 

Encrypted

(HMDI only) The encoder's HDCP status with encryption: On / Off 

Input Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio of the video source.

Input Color Primaries

(SDI only) Indicates the chromaticity coordinates of the source primaries as specified in terms of the CIE 1931 definition of x and y.

e.g., BT.709, BT.601(625), BT.601(525), BT.2100

Input Transfer Characteristics

(SDI only) Indicates the reference opto-electronic transfer function (OETF) of the source picture, or indicates the inverse of the reference electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) of an output linear optical intensity.

e.g., BT.709, BT.601, BT.2100(PQ), BT.2100(HLG)

Input Matrix Coefficients

(SDI only) Describes the matrix coefficients used in deriving luma and chroma signals from the green, blue, and red.

e.g., BT.709 BT.601, BT.2100(NCL Y'CbCr)

Output Resolution

The stream output resolution.

Encoded Frames

Number of encoded frames.

Encoded Bytes

Number of encoded bytes.

Encoded Frame Rate

The video frame rate per second.

Number of Slices

The number of slices per frame being generated by the encoder. The range is 1 (default) up to 11.

Dropped Frames

Number of dropped frames.

Encoder Resets

Number of encoder resets.

Encoded Bitrate

The video bitrate used for the encoder (in kbps).

Encoder PTS

The current encoder Presentation Time Stamp (PTS) based on a 90 kHz clock: e.g., 0x138a56483

Encoder Load

The video encoding processor usage of the stream instance in percentage (%).

Scaler Load

Percentage of FPGA scaler capability being used by a given encoder. 

Closed Captioning

Indicates whether Closed Captioning (CC) is Enabled or Disabled on the output Stream.

Extracted CC Bytes

(CC must be enabled) Number of extracted Closed Captioning Bytes.

CC Errors

(CC must be enabled) Number of Closed Captioning errors.

Extracted CSD Bytes

(CC must be enabled) Number of extracted Caption Service Descriptor Bytes.

Tip

CSDs define signaling and announcement of caption services.

Timecode Source

(Timecoding must be enabled) The selected timecode source. 

Timecode

The timecode for the encoded video frame.

Or the system time if user has chosen “system” for the TimeCode Source displayed as (HH:MM:SS:FF) Hours, Minutes, Seconds and Frames.

H.264 or H.265 Profile

The application profile class for the encoder, either:

  • H.264: Main, High, or Baseline or

  • H.265: Main, Main-10, or Main-4.2.2 10.

H.265 Tier

The application tier for the encoder, as defined by the HEVC standard, either Main or High.

The Main tier is a lower tier than the High and was designed for most applications. The High tier was designed for very demanding applications (in terms of their maximum bit rate). 

H.264 or H.265 Level

The required level of decoder performance to be able to process the video incoming stream: e.g., 3, 3.2, 4, or 4.2
