VB-C10R
This system configuration consists of the VB-C10/VB-C10R with WebView Livescope Viewer
Software (
→ P.1-6). 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 VB-C10/VB-C10R. 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.

Viewer Software Functions
Viewer Software Functions
Java Viewer
• Videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R 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.
Helper Viewer
• A helper application for viewing videos from the VB-C10/VB-C10R 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 the viewer frequently.
• Because it supports the HTTP protocol, the Helper Viewer penetrates firewalls unscathed.
