Why do timestamps (the black bar with the time at the bottom of the larger images) sometimes display with a faded image, and a red bar with white type?

A. This is to notify travelers and technicians that the image is “stale”; that is, the image is over 20 minutes old. If the image remains stale for over 40 minutes, it is automatically replaced with a faded version of the last received image, and a “Transmission Delayed” message appears over top. Once the image updates, the “Transmission Delayed” message is replaced by the new highway cam image and the red bar will return to black.
