SVDA applications

Standalone client

This is the main component of the client. It contains files required for executing application version of the client. After unpacking you have to change the contents of the file "config.defs" which stores the path names of the installed packages.
The application is available here .

Applet client

The applet version of the client is distributed together with the application version mentioned above.

Player application

This is the MPEG-1 player based on JMF1.1. You may use the player separately from the client application. It is started by the "player" script with the following syntax:

player netdoc://address:port/mpg
where:
address - local or multicast address where a movie is being received
port - the port number for receiving data

You can download the separate player application from here, although it is also bundled with the full client application.

Servers

This is the core of the SVDA system. The compressed file contains the video server CORBA proxy, the archive server CORBA proxy (see architecture description), the main SVDA server (see architecture description) and the client application descibed above. Downloading the file is enough to run a fully functionable system.

External programs

JDK 1.1

You need this package to run the Java1.1 version of the application. The direcory containing the installed package has to be specified in the "config.defs" file using the "JAVA_HOME" item.
The JDK1.1 package is available from Java(TM) Development Kit 1.1.

OrbixWeb 3.0

These classes are used by the Java1.1 version of the application and therefore are required for this version of the application to work. They are, however, not used by the Java1.2 version, so if you are going to merely run Java1.2 version you do not need them. The directory containing the installed classes should be specified in the "config.defs" file under the "ORBIXWEB_HOME" item. The library can be downloaded from OrbixWeb3.0 library.

JFC Swing 1.1

The Java1.1 version of the client needs the classes from this package. They are available here. You have to specify a directory containing downloaded "swinall.jar" file in the "config.defs" file.

JDK 1.2

This package is required for executing the Java1.2 version of the application. The directory containing the installed package should be specified in the "config.defs" file with the "JAVA2_HOME" item. The package is available from Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition.

JMF 1.1

The Java Media Framework is a set of classes and libraries required for the player application to operate. The package is available from Java(TM) Media Framework 1.1 - Download.
You have to download and install a version with a performance pack included in order to play MPEG-1 movies. After installing you must ensure that the file "config.defs" contains the line which specifies the JMF_HOME variable.

Java Plugin 1.2

The plugin is required by web browsers to be able to execute the applet version of the client based on Java1.2. This version of the applet is a preferred way of running the client within a browser because of the small size of the applet itself resulting in reduced startup time. In comparison to Java1.1 applet where all Swing and OrbixWeb classes have to be downloaded into the browser it is a significant improvement in speed the use of the network resources. You should notice that in order to run the applet within a browser you do not need any of the other packages mentioned here. For Java 1.2 applet version you only need Java 1.2 plugin software installed in your browser. The plugin can be downloaded from Java Plug-in Download Page.
