Color Coded Frame¶
The Observer conveys encoder and stream faults to users by color coding the player frame surrounding player displays. This coding reflects the live, real-time alert status of the encoders even during playback of stored media.
Color coded frame for encoders is enabled in the Preferences (Web) page.
The green (OK), red (video) yellow (audio) blue (other) alert is a colored box superimposed over the outer margin of the video image. Note the image below contains a video alert in the lower right, and an Other alert in the upper right.
