If you use PC to generate the picture why not send it over IP and use TS-IP function in stead of the camera option..

Quality will improve fast..

If you are using a PC it would be far better to encode on that PC and use the IPTS facility as Benno indicated. No need to go via HDMI and potentially the option to use H265 rather than H264. It does require a network connection but most PCs have that and if they don't a USB dongle will do the job.

Hi to all
Thank you for all information...the thing is that i try to use the IPTS and i am using the OBS studio and i am connecting with the portsdown4 but i have a very huge delay as when i put TX on the portsdown4 it will take long to go on air and the picture will start and then freez and the same to go back OFF....i do not know why..

Check the data rates of your video and audio. Sometimes too much data can cause problems!

Hi Joe (nocallsign?)

I use free streamcoder which is set up on the PC running OBS
All the hard work has been done for you in this utility.
Start OBS
Then start Free stram coder

If you have got the PD4 IP correct you can then monitor this on the PD4 screen

Nice thermionic collection
I sent you an email to help you on your way.
In my experience streaming OBS over a network with decent quality is quite processor intensive and may be why you are having problems.
Running this French utility F1EJP takes credit hopefully will show you if your hardware is up to the job
