Figure 2.3 - Unicast mode: Receiver unit R1 is now connected to Sender unit S1.
Now, observe the result when both Sender S1 and S2 are set to channel 5:
Figure 2.4 - Unicast mode violation : Two Sender units (S1 and S2) using the same
video channel.
In this example, Receiver R1 will continue to receive audio/video data from Sender
S1, even though Sender S2 is set to the same channel. The reason for this is
because Receiver R1 and Sender S1 were already set to the same channel and
communicating (as depicted in Figure 2.3). However, this scenario violates the
unicast mode rule: A Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit
at a time.
