# moi3-cluster-pipeline-re: MOI3 instrument-cluster video pipeline

> The MOI3 cluster pipeline study reconstructs the display path from a VW MIB3 head unit to its instrument cluster on a PC bench. It documents a Wayland ivi_share handoff, RGBA-to-YUV conversion, H.264 encoding and RTP/UDP multicast, and supplies shims and a compositor stub for running a user-provided multi-screen-server binary. Ghidra scripts and a protocol extractor support the investigation.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** The full bench requires a user-extracted MOI3 firmware sysroot, multi-screen-server binary, encoder shader and glforward base.
- **Prerequisites:** The conversion demo uses a C compiler and Mesa software GL; the user supplies the encoder shader.
- **Scope:** The project is experimental and confines its implementation to a PC display bench.
- **License:** Code is MIT licensed; documentation is CC BY 4.0.
