What is inside a RealEstate10K-style camera pose file, and how do CameraCtrl and CamI2V turn it into the per-pixel Plucker embedding the model sees?

A RealEstate10K-style pose file is plain text: one row per frame holding a timestamp (or frame path), four normalised intrinsics (fx, fy, cx, cy), two unused zeros and a 3x4 world-to-camera matrix. CameraCtrl and CamI2V both read columns 1-4 and 7 onward, invert the matrix to camera-to-world, shoot one ray per pixel using a pinhole model with x right, y down, z forward, and encode each ray as a 6-vector (moment, direction). That 6-channel image per frame is the 'camera input' the network sees. CamI2V's single-image demo path replaces the file intrinsics with a default field of view (fx = 0.5 * max(H, W)), so intrinsics in a hand-written pose file may be ignored there. This is code reading at pins; no file was parsed by running code, except line/column counts computed with standard-library scripts (synthesis).
