"TIMER > 0" refers to "Source Timer Value", and section 6.2.3 of RFC
3376 explains that

If a source record has a running timer with a router filter-mode for
the group of EXCLUDE, it means that at least one system desires the
source.  It should therefore be forwarded by a router on the network.

I have the video server running behind the Cisco router on 10.6.37.2.  We expect the video should not be forwarded to IXIA from 10.6.37.2.  But, It is getting forwarded.
