Description: Monitors Videoframe Systems broadcast signal presence, quality, and fault conditions in video facilities.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

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.

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.

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

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using vfNumDerivedNotifications OID:

Select a Videoframe Systems Signal Monitoring Frame (broadcast video equipment) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type vfNumDerivedNotifications into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports how many derived-notification entries are defined in this signal-monitoring unit's configuration. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the count differs from the value you expect based on your configuration file, which can indicate a configuration load problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
NTF derivedNotificationLevelA	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.9.0.1			A LevelA derived notification was triggered.
NTF derivedNotificationLevelB	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.9.0.2			A LevelB derived notification was triggered.
NTF derivedNotificationLevelC	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.9.0.3			A LevelC derived notification was triggered.
NTF derivedNotificationLevelD	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.9.0.4			A LevelD derived notification was triggered.
vfDerivedNotificationEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.7.1		not-accessible	A row in the derived notification table.
vfDerivedNotificationTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.7		not-accessible	Each row contains information about one derived notification defined for the managed VF200 frame.
STR vfDnFunctionDescription	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.7.1.2	DisplayString	read-only	Derived Notification Description. Describes derived notification function for the operator. Set in frame config. file.
I32 vfDnFunctionNumber	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.7.1.1	Integer32	read-only	Derived Notification Function Number. Identifies derived notification function, define in frame config. file.
INT vfDnNotificationAcknowledge	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.7.1.7	INTEGER	read-write	Use to acknowledge a derived notification. If notificationAutoReArm is disabled, this will re-arm the notification. Otherwise, it is automatically re-armed, and this object is not used.
INT vfDnNotificationAutoReArm	1.3.6.1.4.1.4596.4.2.7.1.5	INTEGER	read-write	Use to enable or disable automatic re-arming of this derived notification function. Auto re-arming allows multiple unacknowledged activations of the derived notification. It re-arms the function after notification so that the specified alarms are again monitored according to the logic function.

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.
