Barco – Apollo – DOC-3197-2 – user's manual – Revision 08 – November 2006
To connect the Web Viewer to sources which are not defined in the ServerData\Globals.ini
file and which therefore are not available in the workspace of the Explorer, enter the
URLs in e.g. Wordpad using the following syntax:
/Type: Viewer_WebViewer /URL:www.anypage.de /SourceConnected
Highlight this line and drag it with the mouse into the mini window of the Apollo Explorer
Web Viewer.
The Drag&Drop functionality supports all parameter valid for the respective viewer.
The syntax starts with the type of the viewer, see examples below.
/Type:Viewer_FrgViewer /SourceRequested:Frg.frg4
/Type:Viewer_VISUViewer /SourceRequested:VISU.Video1
/Type:Viewer_CottusViewer /SourceRequested:Desktops.BARCOEUROPE.karclt8s
/Type:Viewer_WebViewer /SourceRequested:Web.Barco
/Type:Viewer_MpegViewer /SourceRequested:MovieServer.YellowPages
/Type:Viewer_VTplusViewer /SourceRequested:TV.Home
/Type:Viewer_VNCViewer /SourceRequested:VNC_desktops.karclt24
/Type:Viewer_ProViewer /SourceRequested:Pro_Desktops.nioclteos
To connect to a source predefined in ServerData\viewersources.ini; the parameter SourceRequested includes all
necessary information.
To connect to non-predefined sources, the respective parameters for this source have to be entered (e.g. URL,
hostname etc.) followed by the parameter SourceConnected to make the viewer instance connecting to the
source.
The Drag&Drop function is very useful, e.g., for GIS applications where you can drag the camera icon into the
mini window of the Web Viewer to view camera data.
