What happens if you send all 4 channels data?
« on: November 25, 2016, »
I could not find an answer to this, and can't easily test this at the moment, but what happens if you send RGB data and something on the white channel....Does the white just override the other?

Yes, channel 4 overrides all of the other channels so if channel 4 is anything other than zero, the RGB channels are ignored.

Does using channel 4 impact the performance at all?

I don't understand that question?  What do you mean by impact performance?
