Windowvision is the name given to viewing YSTV via the control room window. Due to being behind a window, windowvision typically does not have sound, apart from the odd occasion here and there...
2003-2010
Initially, Windowvision was a TV in a window. This was put in place at the start of Freshers' Week 2003, also in a moment of madness when Jonathan Bufton and Dave Baker wanted to try and at least catch people's eyes when they walked past the station, although obviously was without sound. The station had also lost a few monitors across campus due to building works in the previous few years so this was an easy way of re-dressing the balance. The windows were also filled with whatever station publicity posters were in vogue at the that moment.
2010
Windowvision 2010 emerged as a moment of complete madness by Michael Chislett, egged on by Michael Cullen, and Steven Perring. It consists of Chislett's projector, mounted on MDF ontop of the AV rack (opposite the G/046 window), pointing onto the blinds (which are convieniently always down at night). It is worth pointing out that YSTV's windows are convieniently almost a 4:3 aspect ratio. Audio is provided by shoving speakers onto a stool near the window if anyone can be bothered. Inaugaural projection was Man Man. Within a few minutes, windowvision Actually Had Non-YSTV viewers, one of which remarked to a fellow viewer "you have just been out-awesomed". This version of windowvision may re-appear once a timed IR interface is made for the pojector - with the hope of it being linked into a light sensor, and automatically turned on if it is dark enough.
