Using the Helper Viewer to Distribute Videos

This section describes how to use the Helper Viewer to provide videos. Application examples are also given.

If a client is using the Helper Viewer to receive videos, the video sender must set up the Web server and create the necessary wvh files.

Tip

The settings below are not required if the VB-C10/VB-C10R’s built-in Web server is used.

See page 5-8 for saving Web page data.
