An open protocol for carrying raw Bayer sensor data over HDMI or DVI, with reference codecs, test vectors, Raspberry Pi tooling, and Verilog receivers.

Why it surfaced

bayerlink repurposes a display link’s active area as a byte container, placing one camera line in each display line and describing the stream with a 48-byte header. It comes with practical tools for Pi sources, FPGA receivers, capture sticks, recording, replay, and bit-exact conformance testing—a remarkably specific piece of hardware plumbing.

Lunch Through the Bee Veil

August 11’s newborn domains include a bee veil with a lockable lunch flap, a book designed to unfold over ten years, a Colombian missing-person and aid board, and a brick studio made by a dad and his 10-year-old co-founder.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-11 Domain Arrivals issue.
