Follow These Steps to Get Ready

1. Make sure that the computer that you are using to view the webcast is connected to the Internet. A "broadband" (corporate LAN, cable, DSL) connection is strongly preferred.
2. Click here to see what media players are installed on your computer.
   1. If "Real 10Player" is installed, go to step 3.
   2. If "Real 10 Player" is not installed, click here to install the FREE version (Look carefully to locate the "Download the Free Basic Real 10 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.
3. Click here to test "Real 10 Player" for viewing the webcast.
   1. 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.
   2. If you do not see and hear the 10 second video clip, then click here to go to Real's "Real Guide Page" and try playing one of the videos on that page. If that doesn't work either 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.
   3. 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.You may need to open port 554 on your firewall to allow Real Video through.
