Description

The implementation should allow more controls than basic camera stream: for instance real-time focus, white balance etc. Other than this it should be fairly similar to existing NDI, Spout, Syphon implementation.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing NDI, Spout, Syphon implementations in the codebase to understand the pattern for adding camera protocols. Investigate the libcamera API for controlling focus, white balance, and similar camera controls. Then integrate a similar protocol for libcamera, ensuring compatibility with the existing architecture.
