The TeleVideo Corporation was an American computer manufacturer based in San José , California . TeleVideo had the peak of its success in the early 1980s. It was founded in 1979 by Dr. Kyupin Philip Hwang, a Korean native of Utah State University . Hwang first founded a company in 1975 that manufactured screens for arcade games .
The TeleVideo Corporation terminal protocol was very popular in the early days of microcomputers and was supported by many applications and terminal emulators (as TeleVideo 925 emulation ).
TeleVideo built, among other things, CP / M -compatible 8-bit personal computers and portable PCs based on the Z80 processor. Up to sixteen of these machines could be interconnected to a proprietary multi-user system via a serial interface .
In 1983 it introduced an MS-DOS -compatible personal computer based on an Intel 8088 processor.
The company later also manufactured Windows- compatible thin client computers. This business area was sold to Neoware Inc. in October 2005, which was taken over by Hewlett-Packard in 2007 .
On March 14, 2006, presented Televideo Inc. a bankruptcy -application according to Chapter 11 (Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code) on restructuring in order to manage the company.
On September 30, 2011, after more than 35 years in which the company had sold millions of terminals worldwide, the company ceased production and sales.
