Software

This software generates analog I/Q Signals that can be feed into a rf-modulator. The current version runs on any symbolrate, recommended are 5MSymbols/s or more.
You need to set the DAC clock to 7*desired MSymbols per second,because low pixel clocks might not work and high pixel clocks can be scaled down by using multiple pixel per Msymbol (here 7).
For 9.142 MSym/s set 64Mhz. To do so use xrandr:

*xrandr command here*

A symbols contains an I and Q value. It is possible to use fragment shader to low-pass filter the signal, simply pass the -filter argument. The I/Q values are feed using a unix fifo / a file. 8 byte form two 32bit floats, that equals a complex number. The values have to be between 0.0f and 1.0f. The complex value is assigned to the RED and GREEN channel, while the BLUE channel is set to 0.5f. 8bit and 10bit VGA Graphic cards are supported.
