📌 BREAKING NEWS : 11:30 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 23, 2026

We've decided to hold-off on releasing our low-cost Genlock HW.

It needs more work.

It's simply NOT ready for Prime Time.

In its current state, it's fine for In House use, but NOT good-enough for use by the General Public.

Ideally, we'd (ultimately) release it as a $99 USD Pro-Consumer product.

On a side note, we do want to announce that based-upon the latest polling, we do believe the time is cleary right for our Center-Right Independent Thinkers Coalition (CRITCoal) to gain traction.

It is our very-strong belief that it's been the legacy, super-polarized, two-party Political System here in the States that has been, & continues to be, the root cause of most problems.

For clarity, it is our goal to either force both legacy political parties to move closer to the center, OR suffer the conseqences.

i.e., to be completely replaced (in importance) by Center-Right AND Center-Left
coalitions AND/OR political parties.

📌 BREAKING NEWS : 8 AM (La Jolla-time) Monday, Feb 23, 2026

We're On Track to Release the next update of Photosets, v26.2, by week's end.

And for clarity, 50% chance it will include the innovative twist we hinted at yesterday.

Here, think low-cost Genlock.

As a reminder, our Founder's 1st job after receiving his BSEE from Cal Poly, SLO, was at HP's Santa Clara Frequency & Time Division.

i.e., at the intersection of Stevens Creek, 280, & Lawrence Expressay.

Walking distance to Apple's HQ, which BTW was an HP site back then.

Also, as a Heads Up, here's what else we're working on this week:

1.) Wrapping-up a first-cut of Photosets' Next-Gen Multi View Capture support.

For clarity, we intend to release the Single User version of it first.

Think of it as a unique & innovative Remote Control solution.

2.) Crafting the "baseball card".

i.e., tips on how-best to master Photosets.

3.) New App Store screenshots.

Sex sells, so we've prioritized that.

NO guarantee, but ideally would get us closer to our planned Victoria's Secret-like Fashion Shows with Late Bronze Age attire.

On a side note, we want to make it Crystal Clear to ALL that "we fully intend to drive sales" of the M5 iPad Pro.

And possibly ALSO the rumored M4 iPad Air.

Last week, when we saw that Amazon was selling the 11" Wi-Fi M5 iPad Pro for $799 USD, we decided to make our move.

And Yes, it's Corp Partnership related.

For clarity, when Apple released the M4 iPad Pro, we bought one on Day One.

Later, we noticed that Amazon was selling it as low as $849 USD.

That pissed us off, but also became the Catalyst for us focusing on limiting our Multi View Capture "master" suport to just M4+ iPad Pros, for precisely the reason we're detailing today.

Apple won't promote Photosets UNLESS/UNTIL they are forced to.

We, & Photosets, represent the single greatest liability to Tim Cook's legacy.

We are the ONLY ONES who have figured-out his single-biggest screw-up.

$113B USD & counting !

📌 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).
