Hi webjimmy,

You can dymanic display omnicast Video/camera in the web site very easily. The Video isn't an Avi, GxVideolive decodes and render the native video stream that comes from the camera.

Omnicast has a SDK that includes a series of ActiveX.GxvideoLive is one of them.

Normally if you have the SDK Documentation and installation, it has a nice sample to shows how to use GxVideoLive in a WebLive.

Here's a quick overview of waht you have to do.

First you need 2 activeX components. GxVideoLive and GxUIProxyWeb.

Here are VB samples:

How to create GxUIProxy and GxVideoLive:

<object id="GxUIProxy" classid="clsid:C62E8E18-82A4-4bc8-8E10-4B1F27E1DCB8" VIEWASTEXT></object>
<object id="GxVideoLive" style="LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 300px; TOP: 0px; HEIGHT: 200px" classid="clsid:E10F54C4-7191-4da8-A254-43F92E383C10" VIEWASTEXT></object>


Then we must link the GxUIProxy with GxVideolive:

GxUIProxy.CreateInstance
GxVideoLive.CreateInstance GxUIProxy


The UIProxy activex must authenticate to the Omnciast Directory server. The code will display a logon dialog.

Dim szUserName, szPassword, szDirectory, nBlockingMode

szUserName = window.txtUserName.value
szPassword = window.txtPassword.value
szDirectory = window.txtDirectory.value
nBlockingMode = 1

On Error Resume Next

GxUIProxy.LogOn szDirectory, szUserName, szPassword, CBool (nBlockingMode)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox Err.Description, , "LogOn Error"
End If


Once the UIProxy is logon, you just have to specify which camera you want to see in the GxVideoLive ActiveX.

GxVideoLive.StartLiveVideo strCameraGUID


To see more than one camera at a time, you can instantiate more than 1 GxVideoLive using a single GxIUProxy object.

To find out camera GUID, GxIUProxy give methods to convert from a Logical ID (Simple number from 1 to XXXX) to a GUID. Omnicast assigns automatically a logical ID to each camera.

I hope it helps!
