Built by Dave Baker and Rob Humphrey in summer 2005 to replace the BBC Schedula system, this now handles YSTV's 24/7 output to both the campus network and the internet.
SchedSeven monitors a MySQL data base of scheduled programs, and sends commands to Spider when programmes are due to go out. SchedSeven also implements automatic filling of short gaps in the schedules and addition of idents before programs.
Spider is a priority-aware clearing house for control of anything and everything in the station that is capable of remote control. Currently it drives the Video Server and network video mux to schedule repeats of YSTV's programming.
