Example of Video Distribution using One Global Address One fixed global address is required if VB-C60 is being used to distribute live videos on the Internet. An Internet service provider (ISP) that offers a single-address fixed global address service can be used. In this case, a router with the NAT function is required. Example: In this example, the global address 192.168.1.10 assigned by the ISP is used. The local address 192.168.100.2 is set for VB-C60 (and 192.168.100.1 for the router).

Distribute Still ImaÍges to a Mobile Phone Tip For pan, tilt and zoom, you can specify the relative position from the current position using “d”, which indicates the current position. Example: Panning 10 degrees to the right from the current position ⇒ pan=d+1000 Tilting 5 degrees downward from the current position ⇒ tilt=d-500 Narrow the angel by 2 degrees ⇒ zoom=d-200 Widen the angle by 2 degrees ⇒ zoom=d+200 You can also specify “v”, which indicates the percentage for the current angle.
