Streaming Video Basics

This is how the "page flipping" effect is created. The URL to enter that will make this happen is:

–File://./BB01/VB_1.HTM

Example 2

An HTML page or image can reside on a PC. Your PC must be set up as a Web Server. This is actually easier than you think since Microsoft provides a PWS (Personal Web Server) application that takes five minutes to install. Once installed you can place either an HTML page or image (JPG, BMP, GIF, etc) into the web server directory (wwwroot) on the PC and point the MPEG-2 browser to it. An example of a URL is that makes this happen is:

–http://172.16.3.148/image.jpg (example, use your own IP Address)

Example 3

An HTML page can reside on the WWW. You must enter a Gateway IP Address, primary server IP Address and default domain extension in the Configuration: Network page on the IWS. Note that many WWW HTML pages use java that the VBrick browser does not understand. In this case the billboard will display an error message and may (or may not) display some of the HTML page. Examples of URL's that make this happen are:

http://www.VBrick.com or http://www.yahoo.com

http://www.VBrick.com or /billboard/navigation.htm
