A method is disclosed for providing compressed video to a personal electronic device of a user using one of a plurality of different video compression protocols, and wherein the personal electronic device has a web browser. The method may involve using the personal electronic device to transmit a request for video content from a server via a remotely located controller. The controller may be used to serve up HTML5 client code to the browser. The browser may use the HTML5 client code to create a web socket connection with the server and to establish a web socket in the browser. The HTML5 client code, the web socket connection and the web socket may be used to receive the compressed video, and the HTML5 client code may be used to decompress the compressed video for display on the personal electronic device.

System and method for single KVM client accommodating multiple different video compression technologies

A method is disclosed for exposing virtual disk images on a user device, which is running an HTML5 KVM virtual media client in a Web browser, and which has established a KVM session with a KVM device associated with a remote device. A selected disk image file is initially obtained by the user device and a message sent to the remote device that the disk image file is available for use. The HTML5 KVM virtual media client exposes the disk image file for use to the remote device, which sends a message to the HTML5 KVM virtual media client requesting a specific portion of the disk image file. The HTML5 KVM virtual media client receives the message and a script engine running in the Web browser creates a new file available to the Web browser of just the portion requested by the remote device, which is then transmitted to the remote device.

System and method for accessing disk image files using HTML5 KVM/vmedia client running in a web browser

A system and method is disclosed for creating and exposing virtual disk images to a host server, during a KVM session, using an HTML5 KVM virtual media client running in the Web browser of a user's device (e.g., PC workstation). The host server is able to select all or specific portions of the virtual disk image for use, whereupon the bytes representing the selected data content are packaged by the HTML5 KVM virtual media client and transmitted to the host server. Using the HTML5 KVM virtual media client to create and expose virtual disk images eliminates the problem of the Web browser not being able to directly access physical media (e.g., disks) on the user's device.
