gig is a small, native Windows client for Frigate NVR. It discovers every camera
from the Frigate API and renders them all in a live Direct3D 11 grid with
click-to-zoom. It terminates TLS itself and feeds FFmpeg the decrypted stream,
hardware-decoding via D3D11VA when available and falling back to software decode
otherwise. Live view only.
