 This was considered quite pioneering in the TV equipment business which had been mostly hardware dominated up to that time.The first resulting product was a dual TBC with picture moving effects and mixing, the IVC Gemini, which was released at the 1983 Montreux TV Symposium to packed crowds.Large orders were placed Europe wide, with IVC's early partner Bell & Howell undertaking distribution in some markets not covered by IVC's own network.
