The Video Session Viewer overview

The Video Session Viewer is used to conduct a KVM session with target devices attached to a console switch
using the remote OBWI. When you connect to a target device using the Video Session Viewer, the device
desktop appears in a separate window containing both the local and target device cursors.
NOTE:
or Mac operating system.
The remote OBWI software uses a Java™-based program to display the video Viewer window. The remote
OBWI automatically downloads and installs the Video Session Viewer the first time it is opened. The console
switch does not install JRE, though it is available for download.
The remote OBWI uses system memory to store and display images within the Video Session Viewer
windows. Each opened Video Session Viewer window requires additional system memory:
•
8-bit color setting requires 1.4 MB of memory per window
•
16-bit color setting requires 2.4 MB of memory per window
•
32-bit color setting requires 6.8 MB of memory per window
HP recommends having no more than three simultaneous Video Session Viewer windows open. More than
four windows open simultaneously might affect system performance. You might receive an out-of-memory
error, and the requested Video Session Viewer window will not open.
If the target device you want to access is currently being viewed by another used, you are prompted to
preempt the other user if your preemption level is equal or greater than the other user's level. An appliance
administrator can disconnect an active user from the Active Session page of the remote OBWI.
Java™ 1.5.0_11 or later is required to launch an active session when operating a Linux
