Less intensively used than the [[Distribution Network]], the availability of the campus contribution network has been key to YSTV's long history of doing outside broadcasts for [[Events Coverage|major events]]. | Less intensively used than the [[Distribution Network]], the availability of the campus contribution network has been key to YSTV's long history of doing outside broadcasts for [[Events Coverage|major events]]. | ||

The racks are now gone, but a number of the balanced contribution cables are still used by YSTV to send video back from outside broadcasts. This normally means linking cables passively in LTC, to get from a line driver at the OB site to a line receiver in the station. The local contribution point cables are rarely used, except in Vanbrugh where one of them is now part of the [[Distribution Network]]. | The racks are now gone, but a number of the balanced contribution cables are still used by YSTV to send video back from outside broadcasts.

As of 2011, the last of the network links has been broken (the rennovation of SU buildings and walkways around the Exhibition Centre took out the [[Goodricke-Physics-Hub]] line). As a result, the contribution network has firmly died, although URY have been known to use their parts for OBs in the Vanbrugh area. Future plans mostly revolve around streaming over IP using the campus data network, for better picture quality and fewer maintenance headaches. | |||
