# filmout_display

This repo contains the source code for the `filmout_display` binary that displays images on a screen for the purposes of creating analog moving images from digital sources.
This application will take over the full screen when launched and display frames as instructed with JSON objects sent over a TCP socket.

## Features

* Display image full screen, maintaining aspect ratio of original
* Display image scaled for different capture requirements and stocks
* Display image for specified length of time in milliseconds
* Display image until instructed to stop

## Future Goals

* Display image one channel at a time (RGB) for specified lengths of time for color balancing to different stocks
* Display image inverted for print stocks
* Convert images from color to black and white with different profiles

## Dependencies

* [OpenGL](https://www.khronos.org/opengl/)
* [OpenCV](https://github.com/opencv/opencv)
* [nlohmann/json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json)
* [Tawee/args](https://github.com/Taywee/args)
