https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/ New and updated releases from Stoatworks Labs: Open-source software and hardware for live events, broadcast and theatre — written by a working AV technician. en-GB https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/orrery/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/orrery/#v0.1.0 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Primitive shapes moving on deterministic paths, as an FFGL source and a matching mask effect. Eight shapes, five paths, and a phase that can be locked to the host's bar — for quick animated masks and for chroma chases driving a pixel map. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/downpour/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/downpour/#v0.1.0 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Falling columns of characters, as an FFGL source and a matching effect. Reads its own generated code, four public domain books, or any text file you point it at, in any installed font. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolume-scopes/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolume-scopes/#v0.1.0 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Waveform, vectorscope, histogram and picture assist as one FFGL effect. Drop it on a layer and it measures what is arriving there — either replacing the picture or sitting over it in a corner. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/asciify/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/asciify/#v0.1.0 Mon, 03 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT An ASCII art FFGL effect that matches each character cell on how much ink it wants and on where that ink sits, so edges pick up characters that lean the right way instead of being flattened into a brightness ramp. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/simplevis/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/simplevis/#v0.2.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT A lightweight lighting visualiser. Drop in an MVR and it reads the rig straight out of it — fixture positions, patch, and the GDTF definitions embedded alongside, so it knows which channel is pan, how wide the beam opens and whether the colour mixes additively or subtractively. Then feed it Art-Net, sACN or DMX off a USB interface and watch the programming in volumetric haze, from anywhere you care to put the camera. Pixel-mapped fixtures work properly: a wall that declares four template channels across a hundred references is resolved to the three hundred it actually occupies, one DMX slot per pixel. The desktop build takes the live input; the hosted build imports and flies the same rig in a browser tab with a built-in demo look, because Art-Net and sACN are UDP and a browser cannot receive it. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/mixerreturn/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/mixerreturn/#v0.1.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT An interface for Waves SuperRack Performer: run the Dugan Automixer across a console's channel direct outs and return the automixed result summed to a single stereo pair, into a group's external input — leaving every insert slot free. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/porthole/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/porthole/#v0.1.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT A variable fisheye and defish warp as an FFGL effect. It re-photographs the picture through a different lens rather than drawing a bulge on top of it, so the Projection control is which lens — and defish exactly undoes fish. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/old-cathode/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/old-cathode/#v0.1.1 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT An FFGL effect that models the route a picture took to reach a television, rather than the look of one. Universal macOS bundle and Windows DLL. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/leqtion/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/leqtion/#v0.1.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT A desktop sound level meter and dual-channel analyser: fractional-octave RTA, spectrograph, time-weighted SPL and as many LEQs as you care to define, plus level history charts, CSV logging, a signal generator and transfer function measurement with phase, coherence and delay finding — on a grid of tiles you lay out yourself. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/companion-presentation-commander-server/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/companion-presentation-commander-server/#v1.0.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Bitfocus Companion module: route outputs, recall scenes, blackout, send stage notes and drive next/previous slide from a Stream Deck. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/presentation-converter/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/presentation-converter/#v0.1.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Converts Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides and ODP to PDF with a presenter-notes sidecar, so notes survive the conversion. GUI, CLI, server and a Nextcloud app from one codebase. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/pdf-presenter/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/pdf-presenter/#v1.4.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT A minimal PDF-only presenter: Now/Next view with clickable slide thumbnails and a fullscreen output on the second display. Nothing else. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/presentation-commander-client/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/presentation-commander-client/#v1.1.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT The presentation-laptop half: a bespoke PDF/Keynote/Google Slides engine with dual NDI outputs — Program and Next Slide — driven remotely from the Server. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/presentation-commander-server/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/presentation-commander-server/#v1.0.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Master control for a presentation room: a real-time NDI video matrix router, layered scene compositor, presenter-notes hub, and a Control Surface with a JSON-RPC automation API. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolve-configurator/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolve-configurator/#v0.1.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Scaffolds an entire DaVinci Resolve project — theatre and day bins, per-session timelines, imported media and smart-bin recipes — from the same session CSV that drives the file-drop workflow. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/animatem/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/animatem/#v0.1.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Control for ATEM Mini Pro/Extreme ISO with something the hardware doesn't give you: a software-composited SuperSource/DVE preview, built by capturing the switcher's own multiview over UVC. Touchscreen operator UI plus a Companion module. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/atem-fleet-admin/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/atem-fleet-admin/#v0.3.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Provision a whole fleet of ATEM switchers at once. Model-aware config forms export loadable XML plus a media folder, or apply live over the network — instead of one unit at a time on a flight case at 02:00. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/atem-overseer/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/atem-overseer/#v0.2.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT A browser dashboard to monitor and control a fleet of Blackmagic ATEM switchers, styled after the BMD multiviewer. Ships as a desktop tray app too. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/atem-scopes/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/atem-scopes/#v0.1.0 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Video scopes arranged around a live ATEM multiview. Waveform, vectorscope, histogram, false colour, zebras and focus peaking on any multiview window — program and preview included — with sources named live from the switcher's own multiviewer config. Desktop app and browser build. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/flock/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/flock/#v0.1.3 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT One web UI for a fleet of BirdDog Play NDI/SRT decoders: LAN discovery, tag-based grouping, full BirdUI-parity settings per device, and batch edits across a whole group. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/contourtonist/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/contourtonist/#v0.1.1 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Measures how loud the room actually is — from a calibrated measurement microphone or an SPL meter's live output — and applies the ISO 226:2003 equal-loudness correction needed to hold the tonal balance the system was tuned for as the show level moves. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/simplecue/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/simplecue/#v0.3.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT A platform-independent audio cue player for theatre and live events — cues, fades, links, loops and vamps, with a per-cue output routing matrix. Driven by OSC, MIDI, MSC, MMC, Art-Net or sACN. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/micwizard/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/micwizard/#v0.1.2 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Discovers and monitors Shure and Sennheiser wireless receivers on the network: AES67 metering, battery and RF status, local headphone cue, and optional Companion-driven Dante routing. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/wsm-wwb-bridge/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/wsm-wwb-bridge/#v1.0.1 Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Moves frequency-coordination data between Shure Wireless Workbench and Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager. Reads and writes both native formats, reverse-engineered from real exports, plus a generic CSV column mapper. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/weblinked/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/weblinked/#v0.7.0 Sat, 01 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Renders any web page offscreen through Chromium at a broadcast raster and rate, then sends it to DeckLink and AJA over SDI, to the network as NDI and OMT, and fullscreen to a GPU-attached display — every output taking the same frame. It can run several such pipelines at once, each with its own browser, clock and raster, so a page that hangs on one feed cannot touch the others. The engine clocks the browser one frame at a time rather than letting it paint on its own timer, so 50 ticks a second really is 50 paints. Settings, live diagnostics and an interactive preview are all in the browser, so a rack machine needs nothing but an HTTP port. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolume-ofx-bridge/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolume-ofx-bridge/#v0.5.1 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Runs OpenFX plugins — the format DaVinci Resolve uses — inside Resolume Arena and Avenue. Point the app at your OFX folder, choose where the results go, press Start: it writes one FFGL plugin per OFX plugin, each carrying that plugin's real parameters into Resolume's own UI. No compiler needed. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/srt-router/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/srt-router/#v0.1.3 Fri, 31 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A broadcast-router-style crosspoint for SRT: any number of inputs and outputs, each output live-switchable to one source, added and removed at runtime from a web UI. Pure relay, no transcode. NDI transport included. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/system-graft/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/system-graft/#v0.1.1 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT Injects out-of-tree kernel modules into a SquashFS initrd and writes it to bootable removable media. You supply the image and the modules — useful when an installer doesn't know about your NIC or RAID card. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/nc-filedropbatch/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/nc-filedropbatch/#v1.4.2 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A Nextcloud app for production teams: build a show from a CSV, the browser or a live Google Sheet, and it creates a folder and upload-only drop link per session, emails each presenter, and can create per-theatre accounts scoped to their own folder. https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolume-luma-keyer/ https://stoatworks-labs.com/software/resolume-luma-keyer/#v1.0.1 Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMT A luminance keyer FFGL effect for Resolume Arena and Avenue.
