With a software release in early August 2017 the Portsdown can stream directly to batc.tv from the composite video input on the EasyCap dongle, enabling it to be used as a low power consumption streaming appliance at repeater sites.

You do not need a Touchscreen to operate in streaming mode but you will need to enter your stream name via the console menu. Note all other parameters are pre-set to H264 encoding at 576Kbit/s without audio or 512Kbit/s with 2 channels of audio.

To enter your stream name, log in to console mode as normal and select output mode from the main menu:
