System Configuration

Example of basic system configuration - Viewing videos using a viewer
Sample system configuration
VC-C4
VC-C4
This system configuration consists of the VB101 with WebView Livescope Viewer Software (→ P.18). The
WebView Livescope Viewer Software consists of the Helper Viewer and the Java Viewer.
Helper Viewer must be installed in advance from the supplied CD-ROM, while Java Viewer is not installed in
advance but automatically downloaded from the VB101. Since Java Viewer is downloaded each time you want to
view videos, it is useful when viewing videos for the first time. Helper Viewer, however, is more convenient when you
want to view videos frequently.
If you want to distribute live videos of places such as popular tourist destinations from Web pages, it is best for your
Web page visitors to use the Java Viewer that does not need to be installed in advance.

VB101
Videos from the VB101 can be displayed by a Web browser that can run Java applet.
Because the Java Viewer is automatically downloaded and does not need to be pre-installed, unlike
the Helper Viewer, it is compatible with any platform that supports Java-capable environments.
Because it uses the HTTP protocol, the Java Viewer 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 Helper Viewer.
A helper application for viewing videos from the VB101 that is launched from a Web browser.
The Helper Viewer must be pre-installed.
Install Helper Viewer from the supplied CD-ROM.
Compared with the Java Viewer, start-up is faster because the Viewer does not need to be
downloaded. This Viewer is recommended for users who use it frequently.
Because it supports the HTTP protocol, the Helper Viewer penetrates firewalls unscathed.
G To connect the VB101 to the Internet, you require a leased line connection to an
Internet service provider or a LAN-type dialup IP connection. If you are using a LAN-
type dialup connection, check that the connection supports bidirectional calling.
G Install Helper Viewer from "Mo Setup.exe" on the supplied CD-ROM.
G The WebView Livescope user's manual is on the supplied CD-ROM. (Mon-E.pdf)
