Status (NV-32-H)
The NV-32-H Status component provides detailed information about the NV-32-H, including hardware health, network AV source details and statistics, Q-SYS Core audio streaming details (if applicable), and USB audio and video bridging details (if enabled).
See the HDMI I/O (NV-32-H) topic for a list of available Network Video Endpoint Properties.
Your configuration of the NV-32-H determines which status tabs are shown:
Status
ID
Click to flash the green ID LED on the front of the NV-32-H unit. The indicator flashes indefinitely until you press the ID button again.
Status
Component status is conveyed with the Status LED and Status box, which uses both color and text to indicate the current condition:
- OK: The device is functioning normally.
- Initializing: The device is in the process of a firmware or configuration update, or the design is starting.
- Compromised: The device is functioning, but a non-fatal problem exists. Refer to the Status box for details.
- Missing: The device cannot be discovered.
- Fault: The device is malfunctioning or is not properly configured. Refer to the Status box for details.
- Unknown: This status appears during a Core reboot (for example, during a firmware update), or when a design is being uploaded to the Core and before it has started running.
- Not Present: If applicable to the device, this status appears when the device is not connected to the network and its Is Required component property is set to 'No'. This status also appears if the device component's Dynamically Paired property is set to 'Yes', pairing has not been assigned in Core Manager, and the device component's Is Required property is set to 'Yes'. See Dynamic Pairing.
Clock Offset
Indicates how much of an offset exists, in microseconds, between the NV-32-H and the network Grandmaster.
Grandmaster
Indicates the current clock master of the network.
CPU Temperature
The current temperature, in Celsius, of the NV-32-H central processing unit.
VPU Temperature
The current temperature, in Celsius, of the NV-32-H video processing unit.
I/O Temperature
The current temperature, in Celsius, of the NV-32-H HDMI I/O hardware.
Parent Port
The clock Parent Port is the device and interface name to which the NV-32-H is syncing. Typically, this is the Grandmaster.
Fan 1, 2
Indicates the current RPMs of the two fans within the NV-32-H.
PoE < 90w
This LED glows if the NV-32-H is connected to a switch port that does not support the required PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) power standard. This is accompanied by an "Insufficient power" fault in the NV-32-H Status section.
Note: This LED can also glow if the switch port to which the NV-32-H is connected does not properly negotiate the 802.3bt Type 4 standard, despite being capable of providing proper power. If you believe this is the case, enable the Operate with any PoE PSE option in Q-SYS Configurator. For more information, see the Configurator topic.
PoE = 90w, 802.3bt
This LED glows if the NV-32-H is receiving power from a switch port that supports the required PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) standard.
Aux Power
This LED glows if the NV-32-H is receiving power via 48V DC.
Network AV Sources
The information shown depends on whether the NV-32-H is configured as an Encoder or Decoder.
This tab reports the audio and video details and statistics for any HDMI Input on the NV-32-H connected to a Generic AV Source.
Audio
The Details section displays cumulative information for HDMI audio being received from the source. This information resets during a design restart on the Q-SYS Core or whenever you click Reset Details.
Video
This section displays cumulative count information for HDMI video being received from the source and transmitted to a destination display. Information refreshes every second. Click Reset Statistics to clear the information.
- Tx Count: The number of video network packets actually placed on the network. This is the Payload Count less Drop Count.
- Drop Count: The number of video network packets that could not be placed on the network.
- Payload Count: The number of video network packets intended to be placed on the network.
- Bitrate: The rolling, averaged video bitrate for the last 1 second of transmission.
- Peak Bitrate: The highest recorded video bitrate for a single frame of video, rounded to the nearest Mbps, since the statistics were reset.
Note: It is possible for the Peak Bitrate value to exceed the Bitrate (Mbps) control in the HDMI I/O (NV-32-H) Encoder component, as the Bitrate (Mbps) setting is a maximum average network video bitrate, not an absolute maximum.
- DSCP: The current QoS DSCP value being used for video packet transmission, as configured in the Design Properties.
- Network Test: Click this button to initiate a test of the network's ability to losslessly carry video data from an NV-32-H Encoder to an NV-32-H Decoder (or, in the case of a multicast configuration, multiple Decoders). You can initiate the test from the NV-32-H Status component of either the Encoder or Decoder.
- When you click the button, the Encoder generates a random, pixelated test pattern that should be visible on the display connected to the Decoder. This test pattern causes the NV-32-H Encoder to create an IP video stream that reaches and sustains the Bitrate (Mbps) setting of the HDMI I/O (NV-32-H) Encoder component.
- While the test runs, observe the Decoder's video statistics within the Network AV Sources > Video section. Lost packets, errors, and drops should be at or near 0.
- If you do not see a test pattern, or you see a test pattern but the Decoder's video statistics indicate lost packets, errors, or drops, the network may not be configured properly or is otherwise unable to transport the desired video bitrate. Refer to the Q-SYS Networking > Clocking, Audio, Video, & Control topic to learn about the requirements for Q-SYS Video.
- Click the Network Test button again to end the test, which resumes the AV signal for the HDMI Input.
Note: Do not initiate a Network Test while the system is in use. Running a Network Test disrupts the AV signals being transmitted between Encoder and Decoder, as well as local HDMI output from an Encoder. Any hotplug event (such as an HDMI device waking from sleep, or connecting or disconnecting its HDMI cable) will end the test. For long term testing, you should unplug all HDMI sources.
This tab reports the audio and video details and statistics for any HDMI Output on the NV-32-H connected to a Generic HDMI Display.
Audio
The Details section displays cumulative information for HDMI audio being sent to a display. This information resets during a design restart on the Q-SYS Core or whenever you click Reset Details.
Video
This section displays cumulative count information for HDMI video being received from a source and transmitted to a display. Information refreshes every second. Click Reset Statistics to clear the information.
- Source Name: The currently-selected AV source being sent to the HDMI output.
- Bitrate: The rolling, averaged video bitrate for the last 1 second of transmission.
- Peak Bitrate: The highest recorded video bitrate for a single frame of video, rounded to the nearest Mbps, since the statistics were reset.
- BMcast IP Src: Bad Multicast IP Source. Displays the source IP addresses that are incorrectly broadcasting on this source's multicast address. (Only one device on the network should be using this multicasting IP address.)
- Packets Lost: Displays how many network packets were lost (due to errors, dropped packets, overruns, etc.) between the currently selected source and this device.
- Packet Loss %: The percentage of network packets lost from the Packet Count.
- Packet Count: The running total of network packets received by the device.
- Sequence Errs: The number of network packets that were received out of order.
- HW Drop Count: The number of network packets successfully retrieved from the network but could not be processed by the NV-32-H hardware.
- SRC- : The number of incremental video frames that have been dropped on the HDMI output in order to keep the output timing constant.
- SRC+ : The number of incremental video frames that have been repeated on the HDMI output in order to keep the output timing constant.
- Network Test: Click this button to initiate a test of the network's ability to losslessly carry video data from an NV-32-H Encoder to an NV-32-H Decoder (or, in the case of a multicast configuration, multiple Decoders). You can initiate the test from the NV-32-H Status component of either the Encoder or Decoder.
- When you click the button, the Encoder generates a random, pixelated test pattern that should be visible on the display connected to the Decoder. This test pattern causes the NV-32-H Encoder to create an IP video stream that reaches and sustains the Bitrate (Mbps) setting of the HDMI I/O (NV-32-H) Encoder component.
- While the test runs, observe the Decoder's video statistics within the Network AV Sources > Video section. Lost packets, errors, and drops should be at or near 0.
- If you do not see a test pattern, or you see a test pattern but the Decoder's video statistics indicate lost packets, errors, or drops, the network may not be configured properly or is otherwise unable to transport the desired video bitrate. Refer to the Q-SYS Networking > Clocking, Audio, Video, & Control topic to learn about the requirements for Q-SYS Video.
- Click the Network Test button again to end the test, which resumes the AV signal for the HDMI Input.
Note: Do not initiate a Network Test while the system is in use. Running a Network Test disrupts the AV signals being transmitted between Encoder and Decoder, as well as local HDMI output from an Encoder. Any hotplug event (such as an HDMI device waking from sleep, or connecting or disconnecting its HDMI cable) will end the test. For long term testing, you should unplug all HDMI sources.

Status: "Missing - Insufficient PoE power"
If you are not using a 48V DC (Aux) power supply and are instead powering the NV-32-H using Power over Ethernet, the port to which the NV-32-H is connected must support PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4). The PoE and PoE+ standards are not supported. If you see this status, it means that the switch port either does not support PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4) or cannot properly negotiate this standard. If you are certain that the network switch power supply provides adequate power, you can enable the Operate with any PoE PSE option in Configurator to force the NV-32-H to boot and run with the detected PoE capability.
Note: The NV-32-H checks for proper power only once at startup. If you change your switch PoE settings, you must reboot the NV-32-H so it can check for proper PoE power again.
