Installed alongside the distribution network was an AV [[Contribution Network]]. The contribution/distribution system was quite advanced in it's day since it would have been possible to do point to multi-point lectures and video conference across campus.

Installed alongside the distribution network was an AV [[Contribution Network]]. The contribution/distribution system was quite advanced in it's day since it would have been possible to do point to multi-point lectures and video conference across campus. It was often used for graduation day in the early days, an information system for conferences,  retransmission of BBC1/BBC2/ITV and contribution/distribution of YSTV.


The distribution system suffered from having to use live chassis televisions that could receive the (non-standard) Rediffusion signal. This made replacing them difficult, since the Rediffusion company had pretty much disappeared by the early 1990's and the transmission system was technologically obsolete.
