GSM Alarm Browser—Fingerprint Analysis Alarms
 

When a comparison is underway, you can monitor the results of the comparison and analysis through the GSM’s view of the fingerprint analysis alarms. How alarms are reported depends upon how you initially configured them in the Alarm Configuration window. The analysis results governing the statuses of individual alarms are shown as alarm text. In the example, the channel 1 audio match level is at 20%.

The Fingerprint analysis alarms are as follows:

YES
NO
NO
Normal
The lip-sync delay computed from video and audio delays is not above the maximum allowed. Text shows delay in ms.
Current lip-sync delay for this channel.
Fault
The lip-sync delay computed from video and audio delays is above the maximum allowed. Text shows delay in ms.
Unknown
Lip-sync delay cannot be determined unless both match alarms are Normal.

For each audio channel
YES
NO
NO
Normal
The lip-sync delay computed from video and audio delays is not above the maximum allowed. Text shows delay in ms.

Video match level for this source.
Fault
Match is unlocked, i.e. result is conclusive and match level is below minimum threshold (default is 50%). Text shows 0.
Unknown
Match cannot be determined. Check fingerprint presence.

For each probe input
YES
YES
NO
Normal
Match is locked and delay is not above the configured maximum threshold (default is no maximum). Text shows delay in ms.
Video delay for this source.
Fault
Match is locked and delay is above the configured maximum threshold (default is no maximum). Text shows delay in ms.

YES
YES
NO
Normal

Status of weak correlation for the compared video contents.
Fault
Weak correlation when comparing the Probe's video content with the Reference's. Text shows fault's start time.
Unknown
Weak correlation not applicable. Check fingerprint presence.
Low-motion video
For each probe input
YES
YES
NO
Normal
The video content on the Probe is not completely in low motion.
Low motion video status for the Probe content.
Fault
The video content on the Probe is completely in low motion. Text shows fault's start time.

For each probe input
YES
YES
YES
Normal
Fingerprints are received for the Probe input.
Status of the fingerprint presence on this probed input.
Fault

For each group
YES
YES
YES
Normal
Fingerprints are received for the Reference input.
Status of the fingerprint presence on this reference input.

YES
YES
YES
Text only. Shows the name of the Reference input.
Name of the reference input within this group.
System status2
For each server
YES
YES
YES
Normal
The Fingerprint Analyzer is running and operational.
Status of the Fingerprint Analyzer service.
Fault

Fingerprint analysis configuration status2
For each server
YES
YES
YES
Always Normal. Text shows last modification time.
Status of the fingerprint analysis configuration data (update time, etc)
1. The "program delay" alarms (Audio delay and Video delay) are hidden by default because the delay values may not reflect the actual delays due to the lack of a centralized time source.
2. The System status and Lip-sync configuration status alarms are displayed under Health monitoring/Fingerprint analyzer in the alarm tree.
 

NOTE: An alarm in a comparison group remains in a Disabled state while the following two conditions are both true:

a comparison operation is not in progress

a first conclusive result has not yet been reached
