Using the Viewer for Java to Distribute Videos
Example of Using the Viewer for Java to Create a Web Page
This section describes an example in which the Viewer for Java is used t\
o create a Web page.
Use this example to create your own original Web page.
Tip
Writing IP Addresses
Using the Web server functions built into the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi, IP add\
resses
can be expressed as  (all upper-case characters, includi\
ng the
angle brackets) or as  (html-compatible only, all\
 in upper-
case characters, including the angle brackets) in the 3 file types (ht\
ml, wvh and wvp)
used by the Web server in the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi.
Since  or  is  replaced with the
actual address when the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi is  accessed, the Web page does
not need to be changed even when the VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi’s IP address \
is changed.
NAT can also be supported by specifying a global address for the Web pag\
e ( → P.5-
26).

Using Glimpse and LiveApplet Together
This section describes how to create a Web page that allows clients to u\
se Glimpse to download
quickly and view live video at a low frame rate, and then use LiveApplet\
 to view video at a high
frame rate and control the camera when they find videos they are particu\
larly interested in.1Glimpse embedded in the

Providing “LiveApplet” with Camera Control Restricted to Presets
This section describes how to create a Web page that only displays prese\
t operations and does
not show the camera control GUI.
Modifying the Startup and Disconnection Screens
You can modify the image files (JPEG or GIF images) shown in the start\
up and disconnection
screens.
Nothing Specified
Startup screen Disconnection screen

 ................................................1
1 specifies the camera control user interface.
“no_pantilt”: The usual style.

Certain Images Specified
Startup screen Disconnection screen
If no particular image is specified, the “connecting to hostname” \
(when the hostname parameter is
specified) or “now connecting” animation is displayed at startup \
and the “disconnected hostname”
(when the hostname parameter is specified) or “disconnected” is \
displayed at disconnection.
You can modify the screens to show any image by providing images for the\
 startup and
disconnection screens and setting the parameters. The image size is auto\
matically adjusted to
the size specified in the video_width parameter. The display time for th\
e specified screen at startup
can also be specified.  ............................. 1

1 specifies the file name for the startup image screen.
2 specifies the display time for the startup image screen (in millisecond\
s).
3 specifies the file name for the disconnection image screen.
Note
You must use the absolute path name (name that begins with “/”) \
to specify the path
for the image file displayed ( → P.5-8).
Tip
● At startup, the default character string that is displayed while a conne\
ction to the
VB-C50FSi/VB-C50Fi is being established is “now connecting”, but t\
here is also a
parameter called “connect_msg” for changing this character string.\
 For additional
parameters for changing display character strings, see page 5-17.
● If the user’s service time has been set ( → P.3-15), screen images are not displayed
outside the specified time.

Viewer for Java Parameters
You can specify applet parameters to provide an applet tailored to modif\
y the behavior or
appearance of applets. Refer to the table below to ensure that you thoro\
ughly understand the
parameters.
LiveApplet
Using the Viewer for Java to Distribute Videos
Specifies whether or not connection to the camera server should be 
established at the same time that the applet starts up. Select “on”\
 or “off”. 
When “on” is selected, connection is established when the applet s\
tarts up and 
moving pictures are displayed. With “off”, the connection is not e\
stablished 
when the applet starts up and the character string that was specified wi\
th the 
“no_connect_msg” parameter is displayed. The “connect()” m\
ethod is called up 
to establish connections.
Ye sauto_connect
Use this parameter to set the background color. The parameter specificat\
ion 
format is “#RRGGBB” (values between 0 and 255 for each component \
color 
expressed as a hexadecimal).
E.G. White: “#FFFFFF”, Grey: “#AAAAAA”, Green: “#00FF00”\
If this parameter is omitted, the default background color is used.
Ye sbg_color
The picture displayed in the background of LiveApplet can be specified. \
A 
JPEG or GIF image can be specified. The WebView Livescope logo is not 
displayed if specified. If not specified, the default picture is used. (\
Refer to

sizes: 
80 × 60, 160  × 120, 320  × 240 and 640  × 480 for NTSC, and 96  × 72, 192  × 
144, 384  × 288 and 768  × 576 for PAL. The default is the specified size in the 
Video Transmission of the Camera and Video Setting Page ( → P.3-8). 
capture_size is unrelated to the size of the image displayed on the moni\
tor of 
your PC. To change the size of the image on the monitor, specify video_w\

This parameter specifies the comment text string displayed as an overlay\
 on 
the applet. If this parameter is omitted, no comment is displayed. Ye scomment
Specifies the character string that is displayed while connection to the\
 camera 
server is being established. The default is “now connecting”.Ye sconnect_msg
Specifies the GUI style for controlling the camera. “normal” speci\
fies the usual 
GUI style; “preset_only” specifies preset operation only; “none\
” specifies that the 
entire GUI will not be displayed. With “preset_only”, only the Sta\

the Camera Control Status window, the Preset Selection Box, and the Snap\
shot 
button are displayed. “no_pantilt” displays the UI for the VB-C50F\
Si/VB-C50Fi.
Ye scontroller_style
Specifies the character string that is displayed when the connection to \
the 
camera server is aborted. The default is “disconnected”.Ye sdisconnect_msg

camera 
server has failed. The default is “can’t connect”.Ye serror_msg
Specifies the display size for connect_msg, disconnect_msg, error_msg, n\

This function displays the frame count as an overlay on the video image.\
 Specify “on” 
or “off”. The default value is “off”.Ye sshow_counter
