Native Lumix SDK Tether Support

[robert hasson]

Panasonic has published their SDK for tethering their recent full frame and m4/3 cameras. would be really neat to have a native lumix support from within NINA. below is the link https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/soft/tool/sdk.html. content is avail to DL only with a valid Serial Nr of a compatible camera. Whomever feels like a hero can ask me for the doc and sdk. It would be a major leap forward from my current ASCOM/Wifi driver which is slow and not providing any liveview!

If someone wants to get this a go, the N.I.N.A. architecture now offers plugins to implement device drivers.

[Export(typeof(IEquipmentProvider))]
public class FujiProvider: IEquipmentProvider<ICamera> {
  [ImportingConstructor]
  public FujiProvider([whichever importable interfaces you need]) {
    // your ctor impl.
  }

  public IList<ICamera> GetEquipment() {
    // your code to scan for fuji cameras and return a list of FujiCameras with your specific implementation
  }
}

Furthermore you can export a Datatemplate with the key <Fully Qualified Device Type TypeName>_CameraSettingsto add custom settings for your camera.

These interfaces and changes can be accessed with the nuget or a later one: https://www.nuget.org/packages/NINA.Plugin
