Big Telly is the a nick-name given to the large 40" projection television that YSTV bought from the physics department in the academic year 1998/99. The picture it produces was never great but until the advent of regular [[chroma key]] it was the only way of generating a large screen image in the studio. It was however very difficult to get into the studio due to its size - usually it was rolled down through the fire escape over an old set board from [[Election 98]]! It was used on programmes such as [[Games Disaster]], [[Lolita]], [[Red Braces]], [[YSTV-am]] and [[Bulletin]]. | Big Telly is the a nick-name given to the large 40" projection television that YSTV bought from the physics department in the academic year 1998/99.

The 2007 on set monitor wasn't used atall in the 2009/2010 year, or the 2010/2011 year! As such, it is now consigned to monitoring the web stream encoders, lest they crash, mid broadcast...

Now (2010/2011), a wheeled 50inch plasma screen is used in the studio for studio preview/onscreen monitor work. A word of warning though: it's bright enough to change the colours of a white set! | ||
