Key Findings

✅ What Your Flutter App DOES Have

Your Flutter app has an excellent foundation for GeViSoft integration:

1. Action Mapping Configuration System

   • Complete CRUD operations for action mappings
   • Offline-first architecture with dirty tracking
   • Automatic sync with backend API
   • Dual-server support (G-Core + GeViScope)

2. Data Architecture

   • Well-structured domain entities
   • Clean repository pattern
   • BLoC-based state management
   • Hive local storage with sync capability

3. UI Components

   • Action picker dialog with parameter configuration
   • Server management screens
   • Excel import functionality
   • Advanced filtering and search

❌ Critical Gap: No Live Execution

The app is configuration-only - it stores what actions should happen, but cannot execute them in real-time:

Missing:

• No GeViServer connection (GeViProcAPI.dll integration)
• No message sending/receiving
• No video control execution
• No digital I/O control
• No event/alarm runtime engine
• No state queries
• No callback handling

Impact: The app is a sophisticated configuration tool, but cannot actually control GeViSoft systems live.

How to Use This Analysis

For Testing SDK Examples

1. Pick a Category

   • Open GeViSoft_SDK_Functions_and_Examples.md
   • Choose from 10 categories (Connection, Video, I/O, etc.)

2. Find the Example

   • Each category has detailed examples with code
   • C++, C#, and Delphi variants documented
   • Parameter explanations included

3. Follow the Test Plan

   • Jump to "Testing Plan" section
   • Find the relevant phase (Phase 1-10)
   • Follow test case steps
   • Compare with GeViAPITestClient

For Implementing Missing Features

1. Check Implementation Status

   • Open GeViSoft_Flutter_Implementation_Status.md
   • Find the feature in the mapping tables
   • See "Flutter Status" column

2. Follow Implementation Priorities

   • Start with P0 (Critical) items
   • P0 enables all other features
   • Each priority has 2-3 key tasks

3. Reference SDK Documentation

   • Each mapping row has "SDK Location" reference
   • Read the corresponding chunk file
   • See code examples and explanations

4. Create Flutter Implementation

   • Use suggested implementation names (e.g., VideoService.crossSwitch())
   • Follow existing patterns (BLoC, Repository, Service)
   • Add to test plan

For Planning Development

Short-term (1-2 weeks):

• Setup GeViProcAPI.dll native binding
• Implement connection layer
• Test basic message sending
• Create action execution service

Medium-term (1-3 months):

• Video control actions
• Digital I/O actions

Example Workflow: Testing Video Control

Let's say you want to test CrossSwitch (routing video):

Step 1: Read the Documentation

File: GeViSoft_SDK_Functions_and_Examples.md Section: "2. Action Messages → Video Control"

Action: CrossSwitch(IDVideoInput, IDVideoOutput, Switchmode)
Location: Chunks 2-3, Pages 11-30

Example:
CrossSwitch(7, 3, 0)  // Route input 7 to output 3 in normal mode

Step 2: Check Flutter Status

File: GeViSoft_Flutter_Implementation_Status.md Section: "2. Action Execution"

| CrossSwitch(input, output, mode) | Chunks 2-3 | ❌ Missing | No video routing |

Conclusion: Not implemented yet, needs to be added.

Step 3: Find the Test Case

File: GeViSoft_SDK_Functions_and_Examples.md Section: "Testing Plan → Phase 2: Video Control"

TC-005: Cross-Switch Video
- Input: VideoInput=7, VideoOutput=3
- Action: Send CrossSwitch(7, 3, 0)
- Expected: Video routed
- Verify: Output shows input 7

Step 4: Implement in Flutter

File: Create lib/data/services/video_service.dart

class VideoService {
  Future<void> crossSwitch(int input, int output, SwitchMode mode) async {
    // 1. Create CrossSwitch message
    final message = CActCrossSwitch(input, output, mode);

    // 2. Send via GeViServer connection
    await _geviServerService.sendMessage(message);

    // 3. Wait for response/confirmation
  }
}

Step 5: Test with GeViAPITestClient

1. Start GeViServer
2. Open GeViAPITestClient
3. Run Flutter app's CrossSwitch
4. Verify in TestClient that video routed
5. ✅ Test passes!

Next Steps

Immediate (Now)

1. Review the Documentation

   • Read GeViSoft_SDK_Functions_and_Examples.md
   • Familiarize with SDK structure
   • Understand action categories

2. Plan Your Approach

   • Read GeViSoft_Flutter_Implementation_Status.md
   • Decide on priority (recommend P0 first)
   • Estimate timeline

3. Setup Development Environment

   • Install GeViSoft SDK (if not done)
   • Start GeViServer in console mode
   • Configure GeViIO client
   • Test with GeViAPITestClient

Development Phase

4. Implement Foundation (P0)

   • Native binding for GeViProcAPI.dll
   • Connection management
   • Basic message sending

5. Implement Core Features (P1)

   • Video control actions
   • Digital I/O actions
   • State queries

6. Test Systematically

   • Follow the 45 test cases
   • Document results
   • Fix issues

Questions to Consider

Technical:

• Will you use native platform channels (MethodChannel) for GeViProcAPI.dll?
• Should connection be a singleton service or BLoC-managed?
• How will you handle callback thread safety?

Architecture:

• Keep existing action mapping system as configuration?
• Add new "execution layer" on top?
• Separate services for video, I/O, events?

Testing:

• Start with GeViAPITestClient comparison?
• Build automated integration tests?
• Mock GeViServer for unit tests?

Conclusion

You now have a complete roadmap for implementing GeViSoft SDK functionality in your Flutter app:

✅ Documentation: All 113 pages analyzed and organized ✅ Examples: 33 examples documented with code ✅ Test Plan: 45 test cases ready to execute ✅ Gap Analysis: Every missing feature identified ✅ Priorities: Clear P0→P3 roadmap ✅ Estimates: 11-16 weeks for full implementation

The foundation of your Flutter app is solid - now it needs the live execution layer to become a fully functional GeViSoft control interface.

Recommended Start: Begin with P0 (Connection Management) immediately. Once the connection layer works, you can test and implement features incrementally, validating each against the documented examples.
