A clear division of responsibility

One workflow, reusable components.

Prepare the system deliberately, operate the live output explicitly, and keep hardware, control logic and rendering independently maintainable.

01 / THE PANEL

Hardware-first operation

Buttons, lamps, encoders, joystick, T-bar, LCD and segment displays are part of the control model. Sony BKDS-2010 is the first supported panel.

02 / THE CONTROLLER

One surface, three servers

OBS, vMix, ATEM and kavtor adapters share a control model. Three server profiles can stay connected, with mappings and settings in the embedded web interface.

03 / THE PLATFORM

Linux now. Embedded next.

The Linux controller is the working development platform. RP2350 + W5500 is the first embedded target; UART bring-up is available and the full embedded runtime is still being built.

Start here

Documentation follows the code.

Current guides live with the source. Examples and tests make the behavior reviewable; dedicated manuals will grow alongside the projects.

Early development

Controller 0.28.0 · panel firmware 0.24

The original Sony EPROM remains available for recovery. RAM update and remote boot are physically validated. The public tree excludes Sony ROMs, manuals and private backups.

What comes next

The full RP2350 network runtime, additional panel integrations and network MIDI are roadmap work.

Development follows issue → pull request → reviewed merge, with CI and documented validation limits.
