From April 2018 to March 2019, STAR did... Many things. The studio software was upgraded from Myriad Playout v3 to v5. This was the conclusion of a year-long attempt to get two new computers from ITS, with Windows 10 and sufficient RAM to run Myriad Playout v5.
Myriad Buyout
Myriad is developed by BroadcastRadio; the buyout option cost £1,499.99, and provided three separate Playout v5 licenses that last for 10 years, in addition to licenses for various related software. Two of the Playout v5 licenses were used straight away, and will expire in 2028. One of the licenses is unused as of 2019/20.
