Using the Viewer for PC to Distribute Videos
Creating wvh Files
This section describes how to create the wvh file required for launching the Viewer for PC
application.
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)
* The underlined portion is a sample IP address. Enter the actual IP address that was set on the VB-
C50Fi (→ P.3-6).
●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.3-16). 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.3-16). 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.
Instead of an IP address, you can also type in <_I_P_A_D_D_R_> (→ P.5-9).

Tip
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".
Viewer for PC supports WebView Livescope protocol and HTTP protocol.
● WebView Livescope protocol:
Tip
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.
