It supports text and Flash graphics overlay with [[CasparCG]], playlists, device control via plugins and the ability to automatically schedule short videos such as idents and trailers to fill a specified time period. | ||
As of Summer 2012, [[hist:Sam Nicholson|Sam Nicholson]] attempted to resurrect and complete Tarantula so that YSTV might have a scheduling system again. In April 2013 the near-complete core software won the NaSTA Best Technical award at NaSTA 40 in Exeter, with Sam, [[hist:John Caine|John Caine]] and [[hist:Liz Pascoe|Liz Pascoe]] collecting the award. Shortly after, the software was [http://ystv.co.uk/tarantula released] open-source under the GNU General Public License to the wider student TV community. Its first production use was at [[Roses 2013]], where it played out scheduled videos to fill time between live shows. | |||
