Kenobi is our award-winning OB-in-a-box Solution (tm), designed to replace the largely unused [[Tom trolley|tom trolleys]]. Originally envisioned by [[hist:Robert Walker|Robert Walker]], it was first built in Spring 2014, and comprised mostly of the analogue equipment that had been replaced the previous term in the HD upgrade. | Kenobi is our award-winning OB-in-a-box Solution (tm), designed to replace the largely unused [[Tom trolley|tom trolleys]].

Kenobi received it's first major overhaul during Summer Camp 2014 after acquisition of better equipment. [[The Mux]] and the BAL DAs were replaced by | Kenobi received it's first major overhaul during Summer Camp 2014 after acquisition of better equipment. [[The Mux]] and the BAL DAs were replaced by the V1616 matrix, donated to the society by [[hist:Michael Chislett|Michael Chislett]].

A | A HP rack mount console was bought on eBay, so that computing peripherals did not have to be carried and connected desperately in order to use OB1. However, the rails it was supplied with were designed for full-depth racks. After much sawing and hammering, the console was finally intalled in the trolley. Whether it can be removed again is yet to be seen. | ||
Late in the Autumn term, two rack-mount multiview boxes were won on an online BBC Television Center auction. In an experiment, the multiview boxes were combined with the pre-existing one to emulate the multiview layout outputted by the [[ATEM 1 M/E]]. Despite the resolution, this was a surprisingly usable arrangement, and was left installed. | Late in the Autumn term, two rack-mount multiview boxes were won on an online BBC Television Center auction.
