I chatted with a few Discord users the other day (Production Dave and Lead Solder) about whether streaming full-motion video to the NABU PC was possible. With the baud rate being 111861 bps and 10 bits per byte, that would leave 11kb per second. The NABU Computer's TMS9918a video data processing (VDP) has a graphics resolution of 256x192, which requires 4166 bytes for the bitmap. This means an uncompressed bitmap dump to the VDP would be less than 2 frames per second.
I added a compression algorithm, which ranges between 5-10 FPS without measuring, with a B & W image on the NABU Computer.
If you wanted to add color, the color generator would require an additional 4166 bytes of data. I am considering adding color for another project I would like to pursue with this feature.
*Edit: corrected TMS height resolution in description (thanks, @ahmad-murery )
