This prototype lesson explores using the web for accessing video footage of surgical procedures. The content used in this demo was provided by Professor James Schoster from the School of Veterinary Medicine. It consists of 12 video segments of a surgical procedure involving the removal of a cataract from a dog patient. You will need the RealMedia Plug-in Version 5.0 to view the demo. There is a bug in the current version of RealPlayer for the Macintosh when using Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.
Problems occur only with embedded video clips in a web page.
For now, we recommend you view this demo on a PC or use the Internet Explorer browser. Most of the other showcase demos will work fine with the Mac platform. This sample application streams video at 56 kbps. which is appropriate for an ISDN or LAN connection. The quality is adequate at this bandwidth. This sample streams video at 28 kbps.
