===Television===
In 1934, an EMI research team led by Sir [[Isaac Shoenberg]] developed the electronic [[405-line television system|Marconi-EMI system]] for television broadcasting, which quickly replaced [[John Logie Baird|Baird's]] [[Mechanical television|electro-mechanical system]] following its introduction in 1936.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sir Isaac Shoenberg, British inventor|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Isaac-Shoenberg |access-date=22 July 2020 |work=Encyclopaedia Britannica|quote=principal inventor of the first high-definition television system}}</ref> After the [[Second World War]], EMI resumed its involvement in making broadcasting equipment, notably providing the [[BBC]]'s second television transmitter at Sutton Coldfield. It also manufactured broadcast television cameras for British television production companies as well as for the BBC. The commercial television [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] companies also used them alongside cameras made by [[Pye Ltd.|Pye]] and [[Marconi Company|Marconi]]. Their best-remembered piece of broadcast television equipment was the [[EMI 2001]] colour television camera, which became the mainstay of much of the British television industry from the end of the 1960s until the early 1990s. Exports of this piece of equipment were low, however, and EMI left this area of product manufacture.
