    Physical location where the capture occurs

    Capture Status

    Displays the status of the capture of the lecture or external media import. Options are Waiting, Uploading Files, Capturing, Succeeded, Failed, and Missed.

    A capture that is Failed or Missed will be listed for seven days, then deleted.

    Info
    titleMissed Captures

    A missed capture is a scheduled capture that did not start capturing. A capture might be missed if there is not a device in the room, if the scheduled capture was not transmitted to the device in time for the capture to actually start, or a power outage occurred. The System Administrator can troubleshoot a missed capture by monitoring the device and confirming that it is licensed.

    Source

    Shows the status of the video, display, and audio signals associated with the capture. The following image explains the color coding of the signal status.
    color legend for device signal statuses.

    Info

    The source signal graph only shows the status of the latest 60-minute block of the capture, in one-minute intervals.

    StreamingIf a currently capturing item is a live webcast, the Streaming column provides an icon to indicate whether the expected input is streaming properly, and provides a Monitor link that allows you to open the student view of the webcast to see what is being broadcast in real-time.

    Processing Status

    Displays the status of the processing of the capture, which involves packaging the capture into a form that a student, for example, can experience. Options are Succeeded, Failed, License Expired, or Cancelled.

    Info
    titleAbout the Succeeded Status

    It is possible for a capture's processing status to display Succeeded even when the source signal graph shows areas of problems with a source signal. The processing status complements the source signal graph. Succeeded indicates that some signal was successfully captured. Problems in the source signal highlight portions of the captured media that may not have captured the desired content. For example, if the Audio Signal shows as Not Present, perhaps because the microphone was unplugged, the capture's processing status would show as Succeeded but the captured media may have an audio dropout.

    Progress

    Displays the percent complete of the processing step.

    Elapsed

    Time in hours, seconds, and minutes since processing began.

    Note
    titleElapsed Processing Times

    Please be aware that in situations where jobs are processed back-to-back, the Elapsed column on the Monitor >Summary page will report incorrect values.

    If the capture is scheduled to be published, this field shows the name of each publisher (such as RSS or Email) and its status: Success ( green checkmark icon), Pending ( empty box icon), Retry ( gray question mark icon), and Failure ( red x icon).
