Web Pages for Video Distribution

To distribute picture data by VB101, you create a dedicated web page. The viewers that can be used with the VB101 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.

Note

●File Names

The VB101 can handle file names consisting of up to 8 characters followed by a 3-character extension. Note that the names of applets built into the VB101 are exceptions to this rule.

●The VB101 includes a built-in Web server. If the content of Web pages used for distributing video is stored onto a the flash memory, the VB101 can be used alone for distributing Web pages and videos over the Web. Refer to step 3 on page 27 for information on saving content.

Tip

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.htm and the English-language top page as index.htm and supply users with a URL address terminates in slash, such as http://vb101/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.
