Does anyone know where I can find photos or videos online to get an idea?

Sure. I built my own -- VERY useful!
Basically instead of hand-holding the router and moving it over the wood, you solid-mount the router and move the wood over IT. This lets you more easily use fences and other "control" devices, and it's easier to control the depth of the cut and the stability of the workpiece.
Check out the links below, the second one is to New Yankee Workshop host Norm Abrams' site, showing his router table -- plans are available.

It is a very simple table with an adjustable fence, a hole where the router sticks through with its bit on top, and a guard to keep your fingers away from the bit.
You load in the bit you want for the profile you need. You adjust the fence so the workpiece will be in the position to be trimmed by that bit. Then you push the workpiece through into the leading edge of the cutter and pull it out after it passes the cutter.

Go to Sears, they have them on display and one of their sales persons will be happy to help you.
They sell router tables with all the accessories for around 40 dollars
