The lower graph displays a real time and historical representation of frame
loss. If the decoder does not receive packets in time, the chart will show a
red line indicating percentage of lost packets over the one second interval.
The
Audio Metering Tab
, as shown in Figure 23, provides a representa-
tion of
Input
and
Output
audio levels in several formats. Each of these
meters (including the top section meters, which are always visible) may be
turned
On
and
Off
individually. All audio meters are defaulted to
Off
when
ACCESS is first enabled. This is because transfer of audio level informa-
tion consumes bandwidth on the local network, as well as CPU cycles on
the client computer. Whenever ACCESS is connected to a data constrained
network (e.g. wireless), it is strongly recommended that these meters be
Off
, especially if the
Web-based Interface
on the constrained network will
also be accessed via the wireless network (e.g. from the studio end). The
bandwidth requirements to drive the meters may affect performance of the
audio codec.
The
Metering Quality
option (which is defaulted to low) adjusts how
often the meters are updated—better networks can support higher quality
settings. Refer to #1 in Figure 23.
