-This was assigned the name at a station meeting vote. Perhaps an unwise choice, particularly if we ever get a YSTV member named Howard. It is powered by a normal four-pin XLR, and has a composite video out.  It is controlled by RS422 which is currently sent over CAT 5e cable into a serial plug and that is connected into a serial-USB converter. See [http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/ptzcams/evi-d70p/overview Sony EVI-D70P product page].
