Distributing Videos Using a Browser Only

You can also use the WebView-HTTP protocol to provide videos from the VB-C50Fi directly to a Web

browser. Some example of this are described in this section.

Displaying the Live Video at Access as a Still Picture

When a client accesses the Web page that provides videos, the video shot at that point can be supplied as a still picture.

<IMG SRC=http://192.168.100.1/-wvhttp-01-/GetStillImage>

(or)

<IMG SRC=http://192.168.100.1/-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot>

*The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address set for the VB-C50Fi (P.3-6).

Displaying a Specified Number Of Live Video Frames As a Video at Access

The Server Push format provided as an extended function by Netscape Communications Corp. can be used to distribute multiple-frame images. However, these images can only be displayed on Netscape Navigator. In the coding example below, 100 frames of live video are distributed when the client accesses the server.

<IMG SRC=http://192.168.100.1/-wvhttp-01-/GetOneShot?frame_count=100>

*The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address set for the VB-C50Fi (P.3-6).

Setting frame_count=no_limit removes the limits on the number of image frames.
