Viewer Overview, Viewer for Java | Canon Vb-C50fi guide

Viewer Overview

There are 2 types of viewers: the Viewer for Java and the Viewer for PC.

For a detailed explanation of the Viewers, please refer to “Viewer Software Overview” (→ P.2-12) or to the Viewer Software User’s Manual (Viewer-E.pdf) on the CD-ROM.

Viewer for Java

The Viewer for Java provides 2 types of viewers: LiveApplet containing video display and camera control functions, and Glimpse containing a video display function. Because both viewers use the WebView-HTTP transfer protocol, data can pass through firewalls with no need for special settings.
