It is limited to black and white images as only the luminance (256 levels) is supported. -There is no sound either but you may use any of the plugins supporting audio to create a mixed signal. Be aware that in this case the power of the video and audio channels is reduced by 3 dB. There is also a performance hit due to the high interpolation factor on the audio side (from 48 kS/s to several MS/s). Another option is to use two different physical devices for video and audio and mix their RF outputs at the PA input or antenna. +There is no sound either. You coud imagine using any of the plugins supporting audio to create a mixed signal. This is not working well however for various reasons. It is better to use two physical transmitters and two physical receivers. + +In practice 4 MS/s is the lowest sample rate that produces a standard image quality. Lower sample rates down to 1 MS/s produce low quality images that may still be acceptable for experiments. -In practice 4 MS/s is the lowest sample rate that produces a standard image quality. Lower sample rates down to 1 MS/s produce low quality images that may still be acceptable depending on requirements.
