3.3 Using the Web Interface

The MV-16 Multi-viewer is controlled via a browser using web pages hosted by the frame 
itself. Note that Java must first be installed on the PC or MAC that is to be used. This is 
available as a free download from: 

http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

To access the web interface, type the IP Address configured for the frame into a browser. The 
Java application should launch immediately, but be aware that Windows security precautions 
may block the file download.

The user interface (Fig 11.) is displayed.

The interface comprises three main areas:

•

the Object and Source Explorer

•

the Editor Workspace

•

the Display Preview 

Note:

The default IP address is 192.168.0.120.
