ZEC Viewing Stream Statistics

You can view all the accumulative statistics for a connected input stream in real-time. It is possible to reset the counters by clicking Reset. The statistics may differ between the various stream types. 

To View Stream Statistics:

  • On the Inputs page of ZEC, click the desired input stream for which you want to view statistics for. The stream’s statistics are displayed on the bottom of the screen.
FieldDescription

Bitrate (kbps)

Displays the current bitrate of the input stream.

Uptime

Displays the amount of time the stream has been active.

Reconnections

Displays the number of reconnection attempts.

Total PacketsDisplays the total number of packets that have been transmitted.

Packet Rate

Displays the current number of packets per second
Remuxing Resets

Remuxing resets can occur when remuxing to CBR (i.e value of ‘Remux to bitrate’ field is set). In this case, the value is not high enough to remux the video+audio+other PIDs data. A possible solution is to increase value of the ‘Remux to bitrate’ parameter.

Remuxing OverflowsThis indicates that the multiplexer internal queues are full.
Smoothing Drops

The Smoothing feature uses a buffer to time packets according to the stream's clock. This is useful when there are bursts in the rate in which the stream arrives. The smoothing drops indicator indicates that the stream is too "bursty".

RTT (ms)

Displays the Round Trip Time (RTT) from the source (in milliseconds).

Jitter (ms)

Displays the current Jitter, measured in milliseconds.

Latency (ms)

Displays the stream latency configured on the source Feeder.

Total Packets

Displays the total number of packets that have been transmitted.

Packet Rate

Displays the current number of packets per second.

Packet Loss %

Displays current percentage of the packets that were dropped on route from the source.

Dropped Packets

Displays the total number of packets dropped between the Feeder and the Broadcaster since the beginning of the stream.

Recovered Packets

Displays the number of dropped packets that have been recovered since the beginning of the stream.

Non Recovered Packets

Displays the number of non-recovered packets.

FEC Packets

Displays the number of FEC packets transmitted.

FEC Recovered

Displays the number of FEC packets recovered.

ARQ Requests

Displays the number of requests for retransmission of dropped packets made with ARQ.

ARQ Recovered

Displays the number of dropped packets recovered via ARQ.

ARQ Duplicates

Displays the number of duplicate recovery packets received via ARQ.

Overflows

The number of packets lost due to buffer overflow.
Note: Overflow is usually the result of the Max Bitrate being too low.
