I'm sorry. I do not understand what you mean. You don't want to transfer
RGB with JACK-VIDEO. I find that that's the beauty and simplicity of it
all.

Alright, so you mean here that you want to transfer 12bpp. Well, of
course, that's doable. The point being that we transfer RGB data, not
something else.

If we don't, we start to complicate things. The point of simplicity I
was thinking of was just starting JACK-VIDEO with a single RGB pixel
format (12bpp doable).

Right, but I don't think bandwidth will be a problem by the time we
actually get JACK-VIDEO running with good applications.
