View source for Edit PC

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.

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 Premeire 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 instaled) and (recently) a memory upgrade.
It still remains the major play out computer for live work, because it is more conveniently situated than the nominally faster [[Edit PC 2]].
