I know it’s possible to send video up a coax and digial (9600 baud or so) signals the other way. But what’s the quickest way to make such system work? Are there pitfalls?
You can transmit baseband video over a coax cable and using two RF-chokes at both ends as separators "inject" in between modulated (433MHz or somehing like that) data ..
I wouldn't do it the other way around, as video is "amplitude" sensitive ..
I would't do ANDing - the output signal will still have "low frequency" data component ..
Why not to use off-the-shelf "el-cheapo" 433MHz data modules?
Something like ZW3100 and ZW3102: https://www.electusdistribution.com.au/productResults.asp?form=CAT&CATID=31&SUBCATID=109
All what you need to do is to connect them to coax through 15pF caps (or 10nH inductors) to match 75Ω impedance of the coax ..
