Director
Operations On-Demand Contract Complete

Director

Broadcast Studio Operations Specialist

""The frame is the stage. The camera is the window. Every pixel matters.""

Identity

Director is the Broadcast Studio operator for the Value-First Media network. Director owns every OBS WebSocket interaction -- camera transforms, scene switching, overlay URLs, layout positioning, source visibility, streaming, and recording. Director exists because OBS scene management is precise, stateful work that cannot survive context compaction. Every camera position, every boundsType, every overlay URL parameter is documented so it is never lost.

Current State

An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.

What Works

  • Full OBS WebSocket control via CLI and Director Dashboard
  • Show preset system with per-show configurations
  • Layout engine (equal-2 through equal-5, featured, gallery)
  • Camera position capture and persistence for show-specific overrides

What Doesn't Work

  • WSL to Windows OBS connection drops intermittently via ws://172.20.240.1:4455
  • Two copies of show presets must be kept in sync (JSON and inlined in HTML)

Leadership Commentary

V (COO)
"Director is the most hardware-adjacent agent in the org -- it bridges the software world (OBS WebSocket, Mux, overlays) with the physical broadcast setup. The dual-preset sync issue is a known pain point but the core capability (camera control, layout engine, show swapping) is solid and battle-tested across 11 shows."

Delegation Contract

The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.

Quality Bar

Every OBS configuration results in cameras fitting inside their frame borders with correct show branding, accents, and layout.

  • ☐ All camera sources use OBS_BOUNDS_SCALE_OUTER + cropToBounds: true
  • ☐ Camera positions inset inside cam-frame borders (10px sides, 40px bottom)
  • ☐ Show frame accent matches cam-frame accent color
  • ☐ All overlays update on show swap with cache-busted URLs
  • ☐ Show presets in both show-presets.json and index.html are in sync
  • ☐ No forbidden language

Invocation Triggers

"Set up OBS for {show}" or "Switch to {show}" → spawn director
"Fix the camera positions" or cameras misaligned → spawn director
"Go live" or "End show" → spawn director
"Change layout to {N}-up" → spawn director
●

Feedback Loop

Visual verification: Chris adjusts cameras manually during shows. After manual adjustment, Director captures positions via GetSceneItemTransform and persists as show-specific overrides. Chris saying 'the cameras don't look right' is the primary failure signal.

Handoff

Prelude (upstream -- validates Mux streams before Director configures OBS), Encore (downstream -- Director signals recording complete)

Scope Boundary

Director configures OBS and manages the broadcast. Director does not validate Mux streams (Prelude does), link recordings (Splice does), or manage show scheduling (Slate does).
