📌 BREAKING NEWS : 7 AM (La Jolla-time) Tuesday, Feb 10, 2026

We "may" decide to release the next update of our macOS-based app Photosets TV/Studio concurrently with the next update of Photosets, v26.412, out soon.

As a reminder, we intend to soon shake things up, on multiple levels, & the best way we know how to do that quickly is to Stir the Pot.

NO details today, except to say that "Heads will Roll".

On a side note, today we are announcing that our Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal) is now gaining some momentum.

Helped in large part by providing some much needed clarity regarding AI & ML.

See our recent News Updates for background.

BIG picture perspective, too late for CRITCoal to have much influence WRT the 2026 midterms, but NOT so for the 2028 Presidential Election cycle.

ALL goes well, our next U.S. President will be someone "aligned with the principles CRITCoal".

E.g., fixing the U.S. National Debt problem.

NO more Far-Right and Far-Left Presidents !

Time to force both legacy political parties here in the States to move closer to the center.

Like how it used to be when the Fed Govt actually worked.

Also for clarity, there is an outside chance CRITCoal becomes a full-fledged political party later this year.

If Photosets becomes a success this year, the odds go way up !

We are, afterall, CRITCoal's founders.

(1) As a reminder, it's Photosets' Long Press Shutter support controlling a User-sized FIFO Buffer that's the starting point of it ALL.

(2) Photosets crafts 10-bit Videos simply based-upon what's stored in the app.

(3) up-to "60" scenes per 8-bit Video.

Also, for the record, from our perspective, nothing Technical prevents v25.411+ from becoming the planet's first-ever De Facto Burst Photo Camera App.

📌 Multi View Capture (MVC)

The BIG Picture Perspective

(table last updated 6 PM, Tues, Dec 30, 2025)

Apple Product	Cosmosent Software		Multi View Capture
Apple Product	Photosets	Photosets TV/Studio	Master	Slave

Mac (M1+)	-	✔	✔ (1)	-

iPhone (17, Air, 17P, 17PM)	✔	-	-	✔

iPad Pro (M5+)	Now on the Back Burner	-	Now on the Back Burner	-

(1) Supports up-to "3" MVC slaves.

-----

Operational Overview

● Each MVC slave streams their Camera's Live Preview to the MVC master.

Specifically here, it's UN-compressed photo data that is Live Streamed
from the MVC slave(s) to the MVC master.

● The MVC master controls the Camera Shutter on ALL participants in the MVC session.

● The MVC master also controls select camera controls on ALL participants in the MVC session.

Who Controls OR Sends What ?

Mode	Remote Shutter Control	Live Preview
Mode	Remote Shutter Control	ACKs	Burst Photo Data

Master	✔	✔	-

Slave	-	-	✔

📌 Apple's Final Cut Camera app vs. Photosets' Multi-View Capture (MVC) feature

(table last updated 9 AM, Mon, Dec 29, 2025)

		Apple's Final Cut Camera app + Apple's $49 USD/year Final Cut for iPad 2 software	Photosets' MVC feature

Live Monitoring of up-to 4 different angles of a single scene i.e., up-to Four Feeds		✔	✔

Individual Control of each Feed		✔ (1)	✔ (2)

Video capture		✔	-

High-Precision Timing Burst Photo capture (+ optional concurrently captured Audio data)		-	✔

Captured Content stored on the Master		✔	✔ (3)

Captured Content stored on the Slaves		-	✔

Master	iPhone	-	-
	iPad	✔	✔ (soon)
	Mac	-	✔ (4)

Slaves	iPhone	✔	✔
	iPad	✔	✔ (soon)
	Mac	-	-

Craft Short-Form, Multi-Scene Videos with up-to 60 scenes from the Captured Content		?	✔ (5)

(1) Capture, plus various camera controls.

(2) Currently ONLY capture, but we're now working on adding support for everything, & more, that Apple supports with their Final Cut Camera app.

(3) ONLY if the Master is an iPad and its Camera is participating in the MVC session.

(4) via our companion macOS app for Photosets, Photosets TV/Studio.

(5) As you may OR may NOT know, Photosets includes an integrated Short-Form, 60-Scene 8-bit 420 Video Maker.

And it includes Rock Solid A/V synch support for the optional concurrently captured Audio data.

You can run the Video Maker on an iPhone OR iPad.

In the past, we had allowed Photosets' 8-bit 420 60-scene Video Maker to also run on a Mac.

And for that case, End Users needed our Photosets TV/Studio macOS app with its custom App Group-based Content Sharing support, to pass photo sets IN & get Videos OUT (of the Mac app).
