Chapter 5: Streaming

Streaming

You can stream PGM videos using the Ustream
service.
Limitations and restrictions for streaming videos
also apply on the Ustream side.
For details, refer to the Ustream website.
[Notes]
The unit's streaming function allows third parties to access
streaming data during transmissions. In addition, Ustream
is a site at which anyone can view its contents. If you want
to protect confidential data during transmissions, we
recommend consulting a specialist.
Preparation

Follow the instructions provided by Ustream to
create an account and channel.

When the basic information is configured, important
personal information (e.g., information necessary for
streaming transmissions) will be stored on the unit.
When transferring possession or disposing of the unit,
see "Useful Functions (Utilities)" (page 52) and restore
the factory default conditions, or see "Configuring
the Network Settings for Streaming Transmission"
(page 60) and reset the network settings.
Changing accounts
Select [Change], and change the user name in the
dialog box that appears.
The procedure is identical to that of step 2 in the
"Configuring the basic information on the unit"

in the dialog box that appears.
Account information is stored on the unit's
memory. The user name display will disappear if
