The '''Tom trolley''', also known as the '''Outside broadcast trolley''' or '''OB-1''', is YSTV's single-unit system for capture and live streaming of shows outside the studio. It is a pre-built system designed to be wheeled to a location and set up within an hour for broadcast to our network. | The '''Tom trolley''', also known as the '''Outside broadcast trolley''' or '''OB-1''', is YSTV's single-unit system for capture and live streaming of shows outside the studio.

Unfortunately, due to the Panasonic Max being a little less reliable than is ideal, the OB Trolley is now just a trolley in a sad corner of the control room. This article will stay here for the time being, and when the techies have rebuilt it with some of our other equipment, it will be back in business again. | |||
Setting up the trolley requires moderate technical knowledge, though nothing beyond what a competent technical assistant should know already. The most involved part of the setup is likely to be sound, as there is no standard audio configuration (though there are some [[#Common audio configurations|common ones]]). In total setup should not take more than around 90 minutes, depending on the size of the event and number of crew. | Setting up the trolley requires moderate technical knowledge, though nothing beyond what a competent technical assistant should know already.

You may also want a separate mic for the lectern if that is to be used. Alternatively, you may choose to simply wire everyone up with a separate tie microphone, though this assumes they won't be moving around during the show. | ||

Central Hall has its own sound system installed, however all its equipment is located on the balcony. Liaison with AV will be required beforehand to get sound inputs diverted to somewhere more useful for us, this may also require liaison with the society putting on the event. | Central Hall has its own sound system installed, however all its equipment is located on the balcony.
