Description :

It is a SSTV mode without transmission of a synchronization ray, in color or in black and white mode, where the picture may be transmitted among MFSK16 text.
The picture format is not fixed as in classical SSTV but variable (limited to small pictures). Multipsk proposes to use the standard "320x256" to take advantage of the SSTV "workshop" and the stored SSTV pictures.
The band of frequencies used is 234,375 Hz (15 x 15,625 Hz), which is the width between extreme peaks of a MFSK16 transmission. The duration of a pixel is exactly 1 ms. In color mode, the colors are transmitted in the following order: Red, Green, Blue. In black and white mode, the black color corresponds to the lower frequency and the white color to the higher frequency.

To be recognized, the picture must be MFSK16 prefixed by:

* "Pic:320x256C;" for example for a color picture of 320x256 dimension whose transmission will last 320x256x3x0,001=246 sec,
* "Pic:320x256C;" for example for a black and white picture of 320x256 dimension whose transmission will last 320x256x1x0,001=82 sec.

Note : on this program, for a better appearance, the grey level is computed according to a "physiological" formula: Grey level = 0,30 x Red level + 0,59 x Green level + 0,11 x Blue level


Note : for SSTV in MFSK16, in general, it is not authorized to transmit a mix of text and pictures because the authorized frequencies, for these modes (MFSK16 / SSTV), are different.

+Picture quality is ok
-Large pictures take a very long time you should use around 320x320 pixels
-High duty cycle
+Robust
