Using the Viewer for PC to Distribute Videos

Creating wvh Files

This section describes how to create the wvh file required for launching the Viewer for PC

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 underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address that was set on the VB- C50Fi (→ P.3-6).

●The first line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB-C50Fi and the TCP port number used for the video transmission. The default setting is 65310 (→ P.3-18). 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-C50Fi and the TCP port number used for the camera control. The default setting is 65311 (→ P.3-18). The default

setting will be used if no particular value is specified.

●The third line gives the setting for the Viewer for PC to use HTTP protocol. After “wvhttp:”, type in the IP address of the VB-C50Fi and “80” as the HTTP port number. As a result of this, you will be able to view video from the VB-C50Fi through firewalls.

Tip

Instead of an IP address, you can also type in <_I_P_A_D_D_R_> (→ P.5-9).

Example: <_I_P_A_D_D_R_> 65310

<_I_P_A_D_D_R_> 65311 wvhttp:<_I_P_A_D_D_R_> 80

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”.

Tip

Viewer for PC 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 Viewer for Java also uses this protocol.
