This system configuration consists of the VB150 with Viewer Software (→ P.19). The Viewer Software consists of the Viewer for PC and the Viewer for Java.

The Viewer for PC must be installed in advance from the supplied CD-ROM, while Viewer for Java is not installed in advance but automatically downloaded from the VB150. Since Viewer for Java is downloaded each time you want to view video, it is useful when viewing video for the first time. The Viewer for PC, however, is more convenient when you want to view video frequently.

If you want to distribute live video of places such as popular tourist destinations from Web pages, it is best for your Web page visitors to use the Viewer for Java that does not need to be installed in advance.

■Viewer software types and functions

Viewer Software	Functions
	Video from the VB150 can be displayed by a Web browser that can run Java applet.
	Because the Viewer for Java is automatically downloaded and does not need to be pre-installed,
	unlike the Viewer for PC, it is compatible with any platform that supports Java-capable environments.
Viewer for Java	Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Viewer for Java penetrates firewalls. However, it may
	not run stably on some platforms or browser types.
	Also, because the viewer is downloaded when the Web page loads, start-up times and
	execution speeds are slower than the Viewer for PC.
	An application for viewing video from the VB150 that is launched from a Web browser.
