Web Pages for Video Distribution

To distribute picture data by VB-C10/VB-C10R, you create a dedicated Web page. The viewers that can be used with the VB-C10/VB-C10R are “Java Viewer (with or without camera control function)” and “Helper Viewer”, and detailed parameters can be specified for each of these. You need to determine which of these viewers is supported and create the Web page for the viewer.

If you select a link requesting video in step 1, a file that includes the IP address information for the VB-C10/VB-C10R is sent from the Web server in step 2. If you are using the Java Viewer, the applet is downloaded to the viewer PC from the VB-C10/VB-C10R in response to the request in step 3 and the video is distributed.

Note

The VB-C10/VB-C10R includes a built-in Web server. If the content of Web pages

used for distributing videos is stored onto the flash memory in the VB-C10/VB-C10R,

Tip

the VB-C10/VB-C10R can be used alone for distributing Web pages and videos over the Web. Please refer to page 5-8 for procedures on how to save Web page data.

You can use the Language setting function for the Browser to create a multi-lingual

Web site. For example, if you set the French-language top page as index-fr.html and

the English-language top page as index.html and supply users with a URL address terminates in slash, such as http://vb-c10/sample/, the server will transmit a file that corresponds with the language setting for the Browser. For further information on the Language setting function for the Browser, refer to the Browser Help.
