What Is VIDEOFRAME-SIGMON-MIB?

VIDEOFRAME-SIGMON-MIB is a Videoframe Systems MIB for their Signal Monitoring Frame product, used to monitor broadcast video signal presence, quality, and fault conditions across modular equipment frames in video facilities. It exposes per-slot module identification and status, alarm configuration, and physical frame control objects. Its monitoring emphasis is squarely on hardware/module status: slot occupancy and status (vfFrameSlotStatus), module identity and description, alarm enable and auto-rearm behavior, and frame-level controls like taking the frame offline or triggering a locate indicator for physical identification in a rack. It augments the vendor's own VF-GENERIC MIB and standard MIB-2 for base device identification, rather than depending on broader IETF standards. It is deployed in broadcast facility racks where signal monitoring frames continuously watch video signal integrity across many input channels, and technicians commonly load VIDEOFRAME-SIGMON-MIB into a MIB Browser to inspect individual slot, module, and alarm objects during commissioning or troubleshooting.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in VIDEOFRAME-SIGMON-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-slot module status
  • module identification and part number
  • alarm enable/auto-rearm state
  • frame offline switch state
  • physical locate indicator
  • signal fault/alarm conditions

Supported Devices

  • Videoframe Systems Signal Monitoring Frame (broadcast video equipment)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll vfFrameSlotTable/vfFrameSlotEntry using vfFrameSlotNumber and vfFrameSlotStatus to detect a module reporting a fault or signal-loss condition in a specific slot. Cross-referencing vfModuleTypeRegObjectID and vfModuleDescription identifies which specific monitoring module (e.g., an SDI or audio signal monitor) is installed in that slot. Setting vfFrameLocateIndicator would flash an indicator on the physical frame to help a technician find the exact unit reporting the alarm, while vfModuleAlarmAutoReArm configuration determines whether the alarm clears automatically once signal is restored.

INT vfFrameOfflineSwitch1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.3INTEGERread-onlyIndicates the state of the 'offline' switch for the frame. 'offline' indicates the switch is set to take the frame offline.
INT vfFrameLocateIndicator1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.4INTEGERread-writeSet to flash (1) to cause the locate LED on the front of the frame to begin flashing. Set to off to stop flashing. This is used to verify the identity of a particular unit among racks of units.
INT vfFrameAdminState1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.5INTEGERread-writeThe desired operational state of this device. Use this object to command the frame to a different operational state (vfBoxState from the vf-generic MIB module). NOTE: It is mandatory that a managed device support all of the enumerated device states. vfFrameOnline(1) - The device is running and ready to process load. vfFrameInMaintenance(2) - The device is online, but either the device as a whole, or one or more of its components are in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode could be described as a mode where diagnostics are being run on the device, or some tasks such as device configuration are being excuted on the device that has inhibited its normal operation. vfFrameDisabled(3) - The device has been explicitly disabled from its normal mode of operation, such as when selected as the backup of a redundant pair. vfFrameResetting(4) - The device is in a reset cycle. Any information collected, or dynamic configuration of the device prior to this state may be lost.
INT vfNumDerivedNotifications1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.6INTEGERread-onlyNumber of derived notifications defined in vf200 configuration file for this unit. Gives size of derived notifications table.
