Transfer Image Data using Web Sockets

I am trying to send Image data captured with vizcapture using Web Sockets. I am not expert with computer networks or network protocols but done this work using Vizard Help, Help from World Viz Forum & HTML5 Tutorial from W3Schools. When I run the code and open HTML 5 supporting web browser, Google Chrome in my case with url http://localhost:8080/vizhtml/websocket for local host it runs fine for some time. Bellow is the code given:

Code:
import viz
import vizhtml
import vizact
import vizcapture

viz.setMultiSample(4)
viz.fov(60)
viz.go()

import vizinfo
info = vizinfo.add('This script demonstrates how to add multiple windows.\nThe upper right window is a rear view of the scene\nThe upper left window is a birds eye view')
info.translate([0.95,0.05])
info.alignment(vizinfo.LOWER_RIGHT)

#Add environment
viz.addChild('maze.osgb')

# Create a new window in the upper left corner
UpperLeftWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0,1.0),size=(0.2,0.2))
UpperLeftWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)

#Create a new window in the upper right corner
UpperRightWindow = viz.addWindow(pos=(0.8,1.0),size=(0.2,0.2))
UpperRightWindow.visible(0,viz.SCREEN)

# Create a new viewpoint
BirdView = viz.addView()

#Attach the bird's eye view to the upper left window
UpperLeftWindow.setView(BirdView)

#Move the view above the center of the room
BirdView.setPosition([0,25,0])

#Rotate the view so that it looks down
BirdView.setEuler([0,90,0])

#Create another viewpoint
RearView = viz.addView()

#Attach the rear view to the upper right window
UpperRightWindow.setView(RearView)

#Increase the field-of-view for both windows
UpperLeftWindow.fov(60)
UpperRightWindow.fov(60)

#Add an arrow marker to bird's eye view window to represent our current position/orientation
arrow = viz.addTexQuad(parent=viz.ORTHO,scene=UpperLeftWindow,size=20)
arrow.texture(viz.add('arrow.tif'))

# Web Socket & HTML 5 Code

    d = viz.Data(iData = (iData))

def UpdateViews():

    #Get the current head orientation and position
    yaw,pitch,roll = viz.MainView.getEuler()
    pos = viz.MainView.getPosition()
       
    #Move the rear view to the current position
    RearView.setPosition(pos)

    #Rotate the rear view so that it faces behind us
    RearView.setEuler([yaw+180,0,0])

    #Move arrow to our current location
    x,y,z = UpperLeftWindow.worldToScreen(pos,mode=viz.WINDOW_PIXELS)
    arrow.setPosition([x,y,0])
    arrow.setEuler([0,0,-yaw])

vizact.ontimer(0,UpdateViews)

# Turn on collision detection so we can't go through walls
viz.collision(viz.ON)
This is the output which I get:


Now the issues are:
1. When I run this code for certain time it starts throwing errors
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard4\python\vizact.py", line 3606, in __ontimer
val = event.call()
File "C:\Program Files\WorldViz\Vizard4\python\vizact.py", line 3379, in _callStatic
return func(*args,**kwargs)
File "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\screenCapture\screenCapture. py", line 142, in SendImageData
iData.append(ord(data[800*3*5*(j-1)+3*5*(i-1)]))
IndexError: string index out of range
2. Here I am reducing the resolution from 800 x 600 to 160 x 120 but if I don't do that my for loop runs for 800 x 600 x 3 = 1440000 times for single update. That slows down the performance of the system.

Please help me resolving these two issues.
Thanks!
