@ctiVideoWeb is an OCX control for video capture, compression and upload. This OCX control is designed to run within a webpage and allow the websites to connect to the visitor camera or TV board, grab single frames or live video, compress them to JPEG/WMF/AVI formats and upload them, using HTTP POST method. From the webserver's perspective, the @ctiVideoWeb control behaves exactly like a normal HTML form, containing <INPUT type="file> tag. The only difference is, that instead of uploading a file from the visitor's harddrive, the control uploads a video frame or full-motion video clip. All this is absolutely transparent for the web-developer and allows seamless integration of audio/video data into the rest of the web-infrastructure.
