''Step 3b:'' If you're streaming to YSTV stream servers (and have the required privs) you need to modify /usr/local/bin/runobhighqstream.sh on ystvstrm0 and change the IP address to be the IP of the OB PC. Save and exit. Then, you need to stop the normal webstream (by issuing /etc/init.d/webstream stop) and then start the ob webstream (by issuing /etc/init.d/obwebstream start). Do this as soon as you want to 'Cut to Net'. Make sure you don't try to have both streams at the same time otherwise bad stuff will happen, and make sure you stop the obwebstream and start the normal webstream when you're finnished.

==== Getting your recorded footage ====
When capturing, your footage is stored in the /data/ directory. To get the footage off once you've made it back to ystv you should follow these steps.
''Step 1:'' Connect the OB PC to the network in YSTV by plugging into port 4 on the well between the edit PC monitors. If this doesn't work, connect a cable durectly into the 48Port switch at the top of the server rack. Then power on the trolly and PC
''Step 2:'' Copy the data over the network to ystvfsrv using scp. Do this by getting a terminal window up (Applications -> Accsessories -> Terminal) and issue this command: '''scp /data/<your_file_name> user.name@ystvfsrv:/data/UserData/Shows/<Event_Name>/''' and press enter. Obviously replace filenames and folder names as appropriate.
The <Event_Name> folder will need to have been created on ystvfsrv already (you can do this on an Edit PC, or via ssh if you like). Also replace 'user.name' with you're ystv username (must be a firstname.surname style user). When you press enter you'll be prompted for your password, and assuming you get it correct, the copying shall commence.
''Step 3:'' Bask in your glory as you watch back your footage on an Edit PC...
