Example of a Web page Using the Viewer for PC

This section describes a sample Web page in which the Viewer for PC is used.

Tip

To use the sample page template in the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR to supply videos, specify

<A HREF=http://IPaddress/top/default.wvh>.

Tip

Viewer for PC supports WebView Livescope protocol and HTTP protocol.

●

WebView Livescope protocol:

Cannot be viewed through firewalls. This protocol is primarily for clients who are

connected directly to the Internet.

●

HTTP protocol:

In general, this protocol is used with Web browsers. By using this protocol, clients

inside firewalls can view video by penetrating fire walls. The Viewer for Java also

uses this protocol.
