Viewing Real Media Streaming Video:

Streaming video is a sequence of "moving images" that is sent in compressed form over the Internet as a continuous stream and that plays as it arrives (rather than requiring that the user downloads a large file before playing). The user needs a "player" to uncompress and view the streaming video. At GSE, streaming video is played via Real Player. Follow these steps for best success when viewing streaming video.

Getting Started:

1. Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements outlined below?
2. Are your speakers turned on or your headset plugged in?
3. Do you have RealPlayer installed? View RealVideo test clips. If you can not view the clips, you need to download free RealPlayer.

Minimum System Requirements:

• sound card and speakers or headset
• hard-wired, high-speed  internet access (not wireless) 
• RealPlayer 9 or above (download free RealPlayer)
• JavaScript and ActiveX plug-ins
• Windows XP PCs up to and including Vista OS: Internet Explorer (6, 7) and FireFox (2, 3)
• Mac OS X: FireFox and Safari (on Intel Macs, Rosetta mode is recommended)

Please Note:

• Skype extension in Firefox conflicts with viewing streaming video. The extension needs to be disabled or uninstalled.
• After you have downloaded RealPlayer for the first time, especially on a Mac OS X computer, don’t forget to complete the installation: that is, double-click the RealPlayer icon and run through the set-up wizard, which will configure and install the player appropriately on your computer. You must complete set-up wizard to play Real Media files.
