 - [x] Color output - Extract U/V channels, map to ANSI/RGB codes
 - [ ] Add feature to record and save it in popular video formats like `.mp4`, `.mov` and `.gif`.
 - [x] Dithering effect.
-- [ ] A producer/consumer split with pthread_mutex + pthread_cond and a double-buffer swap would decouple them: one thread talks exclusively to V4L2, the other does ASCII conversion and writes.
