Preparing to View the Webcast
Follow These Steps to Get Ready
- Make sure that the computer that you are
using to view the webcast is connected to the Internet.
Although a 56K connection will work, a "broadband" (corporate
LAN, cable, DSL) connection is strongly preferred.
- Click here
to see what media players are installed on your computer.
- If "RealOne Player" is installed, go
to step 3.
- If "RealOne Player" is not installed,
click here
to install the FREE version (Look carefully to locate
the "Download the Free RealOne Player" button on the
“Real.com” page.) It is not necessary to purchase any
of Real's premium players or subscription plans. The
free basic player is all that is required to view the
surgery.
- Click here
to test "RealOne Player" for viewing the webcast.
- If you see and hear the 10 second slp3D
video clip, then the computer is ready to view the webcast.
To ensure that you have the best viewing experience
the computer needs to be connected to the Internet with
a broadband connection.
- If you do not see and hear the 10 second
video clip and you are connected to the Internet through
a hospital or corporate network, then you need to contact
the network administrator at your location to remedy
the connection problem. The most likely reason preventing
you from seeing and hearing the clip is a "firewall"
restriction.
- If you are connecting directly to the
Internet by cable modem or DSL, you will need to contact
your Internet cable or DSL service provider about the
connection problem. If you have a home network that
includes a firewall, and you cannot see the 10 second
video clip you may also need to consult the hardware
documentation and/or call on the manufacturer for technical
support.

meets or exceeds these requirements*
