Campus Broadcast Network
YSTV broadcasts across campus by using compserv's network, with streams terminating at individual 'drain' computers, which display the stream full screen.
Drains
Basically, they're laptops with full screen VLC.
Rediffusion
Rediffuison is the antiquated closed circuit broadcast network that was installed in the university in the 60s. YSTV and URY used this network from the early 90s until around 2008 when it was replaced by an IP-Based system.
There are a few points around campus where one can send audio and video using wires left over from this system, but due to its unreliablilty, awful signal quality, and general complication we don't use it any more.
