    1. A suitable display module has already been procured and shall be used for this project.
    2. The display module shall be driven by a Raspberry Pi computer. Two Raspberry Pi Zero W devices are already available and shall be used if practicable.
    3. The Tiny-TV shall be powered by 12 V DC from the WMT Lighting Supply.
    4. Remote access to the Pi shall be provided using the built-in Wi-Fi adaptor in the Raspberry Pi W via the site VPN.
    5. A selection of screen images shall be made available, including, where available:
      1. A BBC Test Pattern.
      2. A scene from a typical 1950s TV program.
      3. Provision for other images should be provided.
