Overview


The RTV Browser View is an Internet Browser embedded into DataXchange allowing web pages to be viewed within the Real Time Viewer. The Browser view does not depend on any browsers installed on the PC and does not depend on or inherit any settings from any installed browsers.


Common uses of the Browser View include viewing an internal company web site as one of the RTV screens and displaying a PowerPoint presentation that has been exported to the mp4 format.


Browser View Configuration


The configuration for the browser view consists of specifying the URL to display and whether or not the page should auto refresh.


Displaying Direct view camera in the web viewer


To view cameras such as the Nest Camera, Adobe Flash must be installed on the PC where the viewing will take place (where the RTV is going to run). See the Notes below for the steps to install Flash.
