This circuit was created by [[Rob Sprowson]], and a set of 18 duly created in May 2000, together with a new, steel monitor rack sized so that the monitors would fit neatly on it.

The station mains wiring was upgraded so that the wall behind the rack had enough mains sockets to plug everything in directly (see the [[G/046]] page for the tale of how this was done), and YSTV could now see every point of the vision path in colour. The old [[Cotron]] black and white monitors were cascaded to become part of the [[NaffoCue]] system. | ||

By 2003, this lead to a steady campaign (lead by [[Rowan de Pomerai]]) to get the monitor rack upgraded to something that actually showed accurate pictures. After much debate, deliberation and experimentation this was achieved in 2006 by the use of the [[VGA Converter Boxes]], allowing the worst of the cub monitors to be scrapped and the remainder relegated to secondary use on OBs and loans to other people. | By 2003, this lead to a steady campaign (lead by [[Rowan de Pomerai]]) to get the monitor rack upgraded to something that actually showed accurate pictures.
