Parameter	Description	Allowed Values	Default Value
min_duration	Specify the shortest black frame duration in seconds.	Positive float number	5
severity	Specify the QC severity	warning, fatal	warning
pixel_black	Threshold for classification pixels as black.	Positive float number less than 1. 0 – Pixel must be absolutely black to be classified as black. 0.99 – The lightest pixels would be classified as black.	0
picture_black_ratio	Threshold for classification frame as black.	Positive float number less or equals to 1. 1 – Frame must have only “black” pixels to be classified as “black” frame. 0 – Frame can have no black pixels to be classified as “black” frame.	1
