The first computer based editing system YSTV had was [[The Mac]]. This was supplemented by various members computers, and later a PC with capture card as part of the [[Einstein TV]] deal. The machine now used as [[Graphics PC]] was first built as an edit machine, but was barely powerful enough to do real time playback, and so was rapidly displaced by The Edit PC. | The first computer based editing system YSTV had was [[The Mac]].

By The Edit PC I mean the Dell Dimension desktop machine that was bought (mostly with YUSU grant) in Autumn 2003, and immediately put into service. Despite some misgivings about a commodity windows machine running XP Home edition and Adobe Premiere 6.5, it has proved a workhorse editing machine, having produced four Best Broadcaster edits to date (2004-2007). In that time the only upgrades have been a DVD burner, larger hard drives (during which Windows XP Pro was installed) and (recently) a memory upgrade. | By The Edit PC I mean the Dell Dimension desktop machine that was bought (mostly with YUSU grant) in Autumn 2003, and immediately put into service.

It | It remained the primary live playout machine up to October 2010, when [[Michael Cullen]] came up with XineNet Desktop, enabling remote control of the [[video server]] for live VT playout. This meant any machine could be used to run the software, although it stayed on the renamed VTPC for several months, up until [[Graphics PC]] was forced into retirement and this machine moved to fill its place. | ||
