Complete feature list

Live target console

Live video from common standards-compliant USB/UVC capture devices using Windows' built-in capture support.
Native Blackmagic DeckLink capture when Blackmagic Desktop Video is installed and a supported DeckLink card is present.
DeckLink input-format auto-detection and recovery when the source format changes.
GPU-composited preview with preserve-aspect-ratio display enabled by default.
Fullscreen and windowed operation.
Target audio monitoring through a selected local playback endpoint.
Mute, per-session volume, and loudness-leveling controls.
Relative mouse for natural live control.
Absolute pointer positioning for exact automation clicks.
Configurable mouse sensitivity.
Configurable, modifier-only input-release chord.
Automatic interface connection when an input action needs it.

PNG snapshots with a configurable destination folder.
MP4 recording from the active preview without reopening the capture device.
H.264 recording.
HEVC recording when the required Windows encoder is available.
Configurable recording bitrate, output resolution, and frame rate.
Audio recording when an audio session is active.
Local OCR selection from the target image.
OCR result copied to the operator clipboard.
Optional OCR-to-Paste-panel handoff for review before typing to the target.
Target-input-to-captured-frame latency test using visible target response rather than transport timing alone.
Diagnostics overlay with video, audio, interface, recording, and Visual Anchor matcher information.
Copy and reset controls for diagnostics.

Paste text by translating it into real target keyboard input.
Smart-punctuation normalization for curly quotes, typographic dashes, ellipses, non-breaking spaces, and zero-width characters.
Skip-by-default behavior for characters that cannot be typed in the selected keyboard layout.
Optional strict mode that stops on the first untypable character.
Optional typing throttle for unusually slow BIOS or console targets.
Plain-text Paste Snippet library.
Assignable Paste Snippet hotkeys.
User-defined multi-key Shortcut buttons.
Built-in ability to send combinations that are awkward or intercepted on the operator computer.

Named sessions for video, audio, input, and layout choices.
New, open, save, save-as, recent, and session-management workflows.
First-run hardware selection wizard.
Common video and audio device rescanning.
Source-format matching for UVC capture devices.
Read-only current-format indication for auto-detected DeckLink sources.
Configurable screenshot and recording folders.
Controll3r Interface health, capabilities, keyboard LED state, and diagnostic counters.
Safe device-configuration lifecycle: changes are trialed live, verified by reading the device state back, and saved permanently only after the trial is correct.
Factory reset and reboot controls for the Controll3r Interface.
First-use prompt to enable and persist the absolute pointer device when an automation feature needs it.

Guided recording of keyboard and pointer actions.
Click grounding as either a fixed position or Visual Anchor.
One grounding decision for a whole recording: Do this for all remaining clicks (stop asking) applies your choice to every later click.
Cursor-free Visual Anchor template capture.
Drag-a-box anchor selection with a suggested initial region.
Contiguous keyboard input grouped into one editable key-sequence block.
Recording pause and resume without counting operator-dialog time.
Three-region macro editor: block palette, flow, and inspector.
Block reordering by drag-and-drop, move buttons, or keyboard.
Multi-select and wrapping existing blocks inside an If or Repeat structure.
One-step Convert to Await Anchor on Delay blocks — replace a fragile recorded pause with a wait that watches the screen.
Editable labels and settings.
Portable .c3rm macro files — a single file containing the whole macro and its anchor images.
Rename, duplicate, delete, and open-folder library actions.
REST upload and download for .c3rm bundles.
Macro Repeat with randomized delay between runs.

Live operator input is paused while a macro owns the target.
A visible running banner shows the active block and loop progress.
Playback can be canceled from the banner or configured stop key.
Wait timeouts default to 0, meaning a wait may run indefinitely by design; set a timeout when a wait should give up.
Timeout branches can perform recovery work.
Repeat blocks have separate safety limits so a looping macro cannot repeat endlessly by accident.
Failure evidence can show the expected anchor, current target image, best match, and timeout context.
Failed anchors can be recaptured or opened directly in the editor.
Visual Anchor matching is color-aware.
Anchor matching runs on the graphics card when available and automatically falls back to the processor.

--headless mode runs everything without the desktop interface.
Saved-session startup.
Per-user headless autostart installation and removal commands.
Only one Controll3r instance can own the capture device and Controll3r Interface at a time; a second instance must explicitly take over.
UI takeover of a running headless host.
Optional restart of the previous headless launch mode after UI takeover.
REST health, screenshot, macro library, and playback endpoints.
Bearer authentication on every /v1 endpoint except health.
Loopback HTTP mode.
LAN HTTPS mode using a locally generated self-signed certificate.

The operator application is Windows x64 only.
Visual Anchors require the playback capture resolution and format to match the recording context.
HDR capture and tone mapping are not supported.
DeckLink requires Blackmagic Desktop Video, which is not bundled.
Capture-device latency and supported formats vary by model and driver.
Wait For Operator cannot run in a headless process because no person can be prompted there.
Macros use the .c3rm format; text-script formats are not supported.
