Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Q. Why do I see pink or green patches in my video stream with Codian products?

A. Pink and green patches or lines seen in decoded video are often the result of packet loss or incorrect data in the video stream. Many video codecs (including H.261, H.263 and H.264) use the Y'CbCr system to represent color space, where Y' is the 'luma' (brightness) component and Cb and Cr are the blue and red chroma components respectively. For many Y'CbCr values there is no equivalent RGB value and the colour seen on the display depends on the details of the algorithm used. A Y'CbCr value of (0,0,0) is often converted into the green color while a Y'CbCr value of (255,255,255) leads to a pink color. These colours may appear similar to those shown below.

If you encounter the symptoms described above, follow normal packet loss and network troubleshooting procedures.
