=== Frame Info ===

|{{:CENFrameInfo.png}}|

**Current frame** The current frame number on the top left hand side on the screen (where it currently reads XXXXX) keeps a count of the current frame which is assigned by the hardware or software system. Since the CEN file plugin is reading a file that has been recorded the frame numbers will start at 1 and continue to count upwards until disconnected.

**Missed frames** The missed frames number is on the bottom left (where it currently reads 000000). Whenever there is a gap in frames sent by the hardware of software system a blank frame is inserted. The dropped frames count keeps a record of both the number of frames which are blank.

**Hardware time** The hardware time number is on the top, in the centre (where it currently reads XXXXX). This is how long, in milliseconds, the hardware has been running.

**Server time** The server time number is on the bottom, in the centre (where it currently reads XXXXXX). This is how long, in milliseconds, the server has been connected to the hardware or software which is streaming to it.

**Hardware latency** The hardware latency is on the top right hand side (where it currently reads 000.0 ms).

**Server latency** The hardware latency is on the top right hand side (where it currently reads 000.0 ms).
