Canon Vb-C50fi - Manual (Page 152)

5-22
Tip
Instead of an IP address, you can also type in <_I_P_A_D_D_R_> (
→ P.5-9).
Example: <_I_P_A_D_D_R_> 65310
<_I_P_A_D_D_R_> 65311
wvhttp:<_I_P_A_D_D_R_> 80
Using the Viewer for PC to Distribute Videos
1. Use a text editor or similar program to create a new text file and type the
following type of code in the file:
(Example) 192.168.100.1 65310
192.168.100.1 65311
wvhttp:192.168.100.1 80
* The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address that was set on the VB-
C50Fi (
→ P.3-6).
Tip
Viewer for PC supports WebView Livescope protocol and HTTP protocol.
● WebView Livescope protocol:
Cannot be viewed through firewalls. This protocol is primarily for clients who are
connected directly to the Internet.
● HTTP protocol:
In general, this protocol is used with Web browsers. By using this protocol, clients
inside firewalls can view video by penetrating fire walls. The Viewer for Java also
uses this protocol.
●The first line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB-C50Fi and the TCP port number
used for the video transmission. The default setting is 65310 (
→ P.3-18). The default setting
will be used if no particular value is specified.
●The second line gives the IP address (or host name) of the VB-C50Fi and the TCP port
number used for the camera control. The default setting is 65311 (
→ P.3-18). The default
setting will be used if no particular value is specified.
●The third line gives the setting for the Viewer for PC to use HTTP protocol. After “wvhttp:”,
type in the IP address of the VB-C50Fi and “80” as the HTTP port number. As a result of
this, you will be able to view video from the VB-C50Fi through firewalls.
2. After you save the text file and quit the text editor program, create a wvh file
by changing the file name and extension.
Be sure to add the “.wvh” extension, as in “WebView.wvh”.
