Gee Broadcast
Gee Broadcast Systems Ltd was founded in the UK in early 1987 by Keith and Sarah Gee. The company was initially set up to provide a design and installation service for broadcast television systems but expanded to equipment sales and distribution, including videographics and "engineering" products. Later the 'Geevs' family of video servers was developed and led to growth particularly in exports. Exports of Geevs reached over 50 countries and formed the largest part of the Gee Broadcast business.
