Calibre UK Celebrates 25 Years

Calibre UK is celebrating 25 years in the electronics design, creation, manufacture and delivery of processing, image scaling, scan conversion and LCD electronics products to market.
Tim Brooksbank, Chairman at Calibre UK, said: "Achieving this milestone has been immense fun. We've sold a lot of great products and have built some valued relationships. Here’s to the next 25 years."
Founded on 8 August 1988, Calibre UK began as a small business in the technology and software sector.
The company originally designed and manufactured custom test equipment for CRT monitor and television factories, primarily for automated picture analysis and calibration on production lines.
In the early 1990s, Calibre UK progressed to making specialist CRT video displays for the oil and gas industries as well as for general industrial purposes.
In the mid 1990s, the firm introduced its very first video processor to market. This was a deinterlacer and format converter for use on the Gem80 industrial programmable logic controller, which had a video output format incompatible with most computer displays.
Around this time, Calibre UK was also the first British company to market with a high-resolution LCD flat panel display capable of showing live video.
Calibre UK then progressed to designing and manufacturing its own scalers, initially for the emerging LED videowall market, then for specialist projection and medical as well as super-premium home theater.
"Calibre UK's export success was officially recognised when the company received a Queen's Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2012. Our staff, peers and customers are justifiably proud of the achievement," said Brooksbank.
Calibre focuses on pro-av, broadcast, medical, military and specialist industrial markets, primarily with video scalers for use as stand-alone devices or inside projectors, specialist displays and endoscopy cameras. Calibre UK is perhaps best known as an OEM manufacturer providing products and technology to several industry leaders in its various markets.
