4idesk v1.1.0-beta — the core

4idesk v1.1.0-beta — the core

A desk that had no core got one. Five parts, each owning one fact, and the
rules each of them earned from a failure: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

What changed for anyone using it:

• A programme key cuts on the press. It used to wait while ffmpeg processes
  were launched on the main thread.
• Pictures come from the Mac, one decoded lens per camera, so a camera appears
  on the wall as soon as it starts. Programme and preview are decoded whole.
• A camera that has not come up completely is not on the buses. Three of four
  streams is a fault, and it belongs in the rig check.
• Opening one window no longer blacks out another: every camera has its own
  sink, and a tile draws its own camera rather than the programme monitor.
• CPU and GPU meters on the status bar.
• Colour: ALL as the first key of the camera strip, every camera as its own
  card with a tally, lens keys, and the lever and centre-point pad enlarged.

Under it: the Annex-B splitter is its own tested part, the decode plan is a
pure function, and the fleet and reader policies are functions with the
evening's failures as their tests. orahctl selftest — 65 checks.

4idesk 1.0.0 beta

Multicam 360°, cut live, out in 4K. macOS, Apple silicon.

Requires ffmpeg and mediamtx on PATH:
brew install ffmpeg mediamtx

The app is unsigned, so the first launch needs right-click → Open.

Proven: 13 cameras end to end, four lenses each.
Not yet proven: the output consumed by Vahana, and the nodes on real
hardware.
