Error indicator<br />

The error indicator is a bit that is set by the encoders in a<br />

transmitted video packet when they detect corrupted source<br />

content. The presence of packets with this indication is strictly an<br />

issue related to content quality. It is not related to the performance<br />

of the distribution network. Monitoring of video encoder output<br />

streams in the headend can detect this condition and provide an<br />

early opportunity for problem resolution. Error indicator counts<br />

seen at the customer premises reveal a source quality problem.<br />
