#### Live Multi-Source Scene Compositor, MJPEG/AVI Recorder & GPU Encoder Inspector

OBS Studio GPU Edition (obs-studio-pro) for Linux is a native desktop scene
compositor, real-time RIFF MJPEG (.avi) + PCM (.wav) recorder, and hardware GPU
encoder capability inspector (/dev/dri, /sys/class/drm, VA-API, NVENC, VMBus,
PCI, and CPU SIMD).

KEY FEATURES:
• Live Multi-Source Scene Compositor & Recorder: Captures real desktop frames via X11/Wayland primary screen grab, composites real-time System Telemetry HUD, Lower-Third Broadcast Banner, and Picture-in-Picture overlays onto a 1280x720 canvas, and encodes real RIFF MJPEG (.avi), PCM audio (.wav), and PNG snapshots to /tmp/obs-recordings.
• GPU Hardware Encoder & DRM/DRI Auditor: Scans real /dev/dri/\* render nodes, /sys/class/drm/\* connectors, /sys/bus/pci/devices/*, /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/*, /proc/cpuinfo SIMD flags, and /proc/modules to generate real OBS Studio profiles (obs\_gpu\_profile.json, basic.ini, streamEncoder.json).
• Recording Output Inspector & Bitrate Analyzer: Audits real recorded .avi, .wav, .png, and .json files on disk with live byte sizes, frame counts, resolutions, bitrates, and SHA-256 integrity digests.
