YSTV no longer broadcasts across campus, instead occasionally makes use of the YUSU screens. This page is left here for historical purposes
YSTV broadcasts across campus by using compserv's network, with streams terminating at individual 'drain' computers, which display the stream full screen.

As of 28/10/2011, the analog broadcast network is no more. No patches make full runs, and no access points are accessable. The final peice of the network to be destroyed was the bidirectional patch to ystv's previous studio, PX/002 (physics chair store near PX/001). The cable still exists, but in this case, has been chopped at the stretch between PX/001 and YUSU's student centre.
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.

Basically, if you want point to point video, work a brand new solution on a "per use" basis. Here are some possible ways of doing it:
Basically, if you want point to point video, work a brand new solution on a "per use" basis, and use the [[Dark Techie Magic]]
* long reels of xlr & coax - above 100 meters, things get ''fun'' with quality.
* Walkway style: Can you throw cables over things?
* standard video senders - you'll need line-of-sight.
* Telepathic style: No wires? What Do you mean No wires?
* long range video senders - L-O-S still needed, but distance in the Km range.
* Long Range Telepathic: As Above, but with dish based methods.
* I.P. network - stream it, but expect delays (it gets everywhere).
* Time Machine Laptop: Transport streams with a 2 - 10 second delay.
* Fibre senders (like we have that money!).
* Warning beacons of Gondor: (the only option to use light) Fibre senders (like we have that money!).
* Baluns - put baseband through transformers, so it becomes differential, can go a bit further.

* Guerilla campus network. find something long to put cables in - anything big enough will do, bring Gaffa tape.
* Guerilla campus. find something long, low, and untouched to put cables in - anything big enough spanning the length of campus will do.
* Guerilla satellite. look up, find appropriate frequency. - very good coverage, technique reportedly widely used in brazil!

* Cantenna (or helical / dish / yagi based) - internet is your friend for designs (L-O-S needed).
* Rations style: Cantenna.
 
==Live Link Laptop==
An idea by Sam Nicholson.
Camera into laptop, transport stream to player in YSTV.
Use eduroam for portability and reduced set up times.
