Milestone 0.2

A real camera page, Panasonic PTZ support, plot names, instant online/offline and the read-back safety rule.

SAFETY 03

• Holds are designed not to release on their own

  Controls stay unlocked until you lock them.

• Crash-resistant records

  Camera list, activity log and plot names are saved atomically, so the last good copy is kept after a crash.

• Read back, don't assume

  Camera changes are confirmed by reading the camera back, not by an acknowledgement alone. A built-in self test checks this.

NEW 09

• Camera page redesign

  Controls laid out the way camera ops already know them; the picture never pushes the controls off screen.

  FR7

• Panasonic PTZ support

  Find Panasonic PTZ cameras, set their IP, control them and see live video.

  PANASONIC

• Plot names

  Label any camera to match the camera plot. The label is saved on disk and on the camera.

• Shutter as speed or angle

  Show and set shutter as 1/x or as degrees.

  FR7

• CCU data

  Base-station channel, router feeds, head swaps and CCU order on every camera.

  ALEXALPS

• Magnetic, resizable panes

  Panes snap and resize; FR7 names may contain - and _.

• Sort cameras

  Sort by IP, name or status, with stable ties.

• Fast online / offline status

  Every known camera is checked twice a second.

• Identify a camera

  Blink its red tally 6 times; if tally is held by the switcher, the FR7 nods instead.

IMPROVED 07

• No more Keychain pop-ups

  Logins are kept inside Scanny. Refused controls say why.

• Pan/tilt speed follows the camera

  Speed matches the FR7's own Speed Step setting.

  FR7

• Offline is red

  No more endless CONNECTING.

• ALEXA speaks for itself

  The camera's own alert text, and NO MEDIA instead of NOT READY.

  ALEXA

• One-click IP fix

  Address-mismatch sheets offer 'move it to …' and name the network by its range.

• ALEXA named by its CCU

  New heads are picked up in about 3 seconds.

  ALEXA

• Honest video tile

  Says when a camera's streaming is turned off instead of a vague network error.

FIXED 03

• FR7 live video connects first time and plays smooth

  Correct stream path and login handling, plus a short buffer so the picture doesn't stutter.

  FR7

• ALEXA picture keeps refreshing

  Slow stills get the time they need and fall back to another source if one stalls.

  ALEXA

• FR7 IP change you can trust

  Scanny checks the new address by reading it back, and a rename can't undo it.
