Gee Broadcast Systems Ltd was founded in the UK in early 1987 by Keith and Sarah Gee.[1] 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' (Gee Video Server) 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.

## History

[edit]

In 2004, Gee Broadcast acquired Lightworks in order to provide a tapeless production system with multichannel servers and editing systems.[2]

In September 2009, Gee Broadcast Systems Ltd went into administration, and was dissolved in November 2010.[3] Prior to this, certain assets of the company were acquired by EditShare.[4]
