Adobe Flash Player lets you experience animation and entertainment in your Web browser. Certain Holiday Lectures on Science exhibits have been created with Flash. It is available for both Windows and Macintosh computers and works with the world's leading Web browsers.
If you encounter problems installing Flash, please check with the Flash Installation Support Center, or check with the Shockwave and Flash Frequently Asked Questions guide. Mac users: Please note that Display Option 1 (viewing the live webcast with slides) does not work with the Safari browser. Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/) does work and is recommended. Safari works correctly with the on-demand versions of the lectures with slides. Frequently Asked Questions about the Webcast I'd like to present the webcast to a classroom. What is the best way to view it? I have a 56k modem for my Internet connection. What is the best way to watch the webcast? I am experiencing choppy video and "buffering" in the RealPlayer window. Is there anything I can do? These problems can also be caused by an incompatible Internet connection for the webcast. If you are trying to use the "Cable, DSL, T1" connection but only have a 56k modem, select "56k Modem" as your connection. Make sure you have set your RealPlayer Connection preferences to an appropriate "Connection Speed" for your network. If you are unsure, ask your network administrator. For Internet2 users, we have found that setting your "Normal" connection to 768Kbps and your "Maximum" to 1.5Mbps helps reduce choppy video and buffering. If you are using an older computer, or you are experiencing poor performance, try setting your RealPlayer preferences to "Less processing" (Mac) or "Lower CPU Usage" (PC) under the Hardware section. Windows gives me an error message when the RealPlayer tries to load the video. What can I do if a firewall prevents me from viewing the webcast with RealPlayer? Viewing a live or on-demand webcast requires that you download the RealPlayer plug-in for your browser. RealPlayer is available free from RealNetworks at http://www.real.com. To make sure your computer can run RealPlayer you can check the system requirements table which explains which hardware is required for specific Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
