4The Video Viewer Windowxxx | xxx81The Video Viewer WindowThe Video Viewer is used to conduct a KVM session with the target devicesattached to an switch using the OBWI. When you connect to a device using theVideo Viewer, the target device desktop appears in a separate windowcontaining both the local and the target device cursors.The switch OBWI software uses a Java-based program to display the VideoViewer window. The switch OBWI automatically downloads and installs theVideo Viewer the first time it is opened.NOTE: Java 1.6.0_11 or later is required to launch a session.NOTE: The switch OBWI does not install the Java Resource Engine (JRE).The JRE is available as a free download from http://www.sun.com.NOTE: The switch OBWI uses system memory to store and display imageswithin Video Viewer windows. Each opened Video Viewer window requiresadditional system memory. An 8-bit color setting on the client server requires1.4 MB of memory per Video Viewer window, a 16-bit color setting requires2.4 MB and a 32-bit color setting requires 6.8 MB. If you attempt to open moreVideo Viewer windows than your system memory allows (usually four), youwill receive an out-of-memory error and the requested Video Viewer windowwill not open.If the device you are attempting to access is currently being viewed by anotheruser, you will be prompted to preempt the other user if your preemption level isequal to or greater than the other user's preemption level. An RCS Administratorcan also disconnect an active user via the Active Session page. For moreinformation, see "Active Sessions" on page 80.Figure 4.1: Video Viewer Window (normal window mode)
