Using the Helper Viewer to Distribute Videos

Creating wvh Files

This section describes how to create the wvh file required for launching the Helper Viewer
application.
1. Use a text editor or similar program to create a new text file and type the
following type of code in the file:
(Example) 192.168.100.1 65310
192.168.100.1 65311
wvhttp:192.168.100.1 80
●The first line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and the TCP port
number used for the video transmission. The default setting is 65310 (→ P.3-20). The default
setting will be used if no particular value is specified.
●The second line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and the TCP
port number used for the camera control. The default setting is 65311 (→ P.3-20). The
default setting will be used if no particular value is specified.
●The third line gives the setting for the Helper Viewer to use HTTP protocol. After “wvhttp:”,
type in the IP address of the VB-C10/VB-C10R and “80” as the HTTP port number. As a
result of this, you will be able to view video from the VB-C10/VB-C10R through firewalls.
*Type in the actual IP address (or host name) set for the VB-C10/VB-C10R.
Tip
Helper Viewer 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 Java Viewer also
uses this protocol.
2. After you save the text file and quit the text editor program, create a wvh file
by changing the file name and extension. Be sure to add the “.wvh” extension,
as in “WebView.wvh”.
