Production Truck: PTZ display and connection recovery

PTZ display and connection recovery

In Camera PTZ, choose PTZ display for a larger monitor/control layout in the same application window. It shows both existing confidence monitors, the camera controls and broadcast transport, with Exit PTZ display and Toggle full screen buttons. Confidence monitors keep their existing adaptive image refresh; this mode does not claim native/full-motion video. It keeps browser input in the operating window. The external Live monitor / OBS projector remains separate: when it takes window focus or hides the browser, movement pauses but USB selection and the NDI connection remain. Return focus, center the sticks and release RB before moving again. The app cannot guarantee browser Gamepad input while another application owns focus.

A failed move or status request stops motion and automatically checks the same session again, without releasing/recreating the camera receiver. Temporary OBS connection/source-verification loss blocks movement without destroying that receiver. No commands are sent until status/verification recovers and input is rearmed. A confirmed camera/assignment change or expired server session still requires Connect controls again. Server-side stop watchdog remains 0.5 seconds. A browser polling gap longer than 350 ms resets arming so held/stale motion is not replayed after sleep or throttling. Native NDI can recover its existing receiver transport; no additional reconnect service or background input driver is installed.

Disconnect explicitly releases the camera and disables USB. Page reload/application exit also releases it; the enabled preference is deliberately not carried into a new app session. No system USB port, device driver or NDI hardware connection is changed. Test physical hardware and native Mac focus/display behavior on the target workstation.
