Features of the Helper Viewer

Web Pages for Video Distribution

The Helper Viewer is an application which is launched from a Web browser. Unlike the Java Viewer, it must be pre-installed on the client's computer. The features of the Helper Viewer are described below.

Must be pre-installed, but once installed, start-up time is quick and operation is stable.

The Helper Viewer can use WebView-HTTP protocol and can penetrate firewalls to access external sites.

However, this cannot pass through with the WebView-Tcp protocol (→

P.111).

Can be run as a stand-alone application.
