NOTES
Please feel free to contribute your experiences to this page.
1. CAMH264 transmits an H264 704 x 576 image from the RPi Camera at SRs from 125KS up to over 4MS with the Portsdown filter-modulator board. The image is also displayed on the touchscreen if the viewfinder is not turned off. No sound is transmitted.
2. QPSKRF uses software to generate a dirty H264 QPSK DVB-S RF signal on one of the GPIO pins with harmonics at up to 437 MHz. The maximum SR available is about 400KS. No sound is transmitted.
