Retina Monitor

Retina Monitor

A native OpenCV window that shows the same frames Qoresence already holds. No second DShow open. No JPEG browser path.

Why it exists

• Lower latency than Deck MJPEG.
• No need for a browser.
• Subscribes to FrameHub — it does not capture again.

Enable

# Pattern B: Qoresence owns the physical card
python -m qoresence.cli --play --deck --monitor --streamer-device 0 --streamer-fps 60

# Optional: limit display width
--monitor-max-width 1280

HUD presets
