Quince Imaging

What Quince Imaging does

Quince Imaging, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Sterling, VA, designs, installs, and operates large-format visual display systems for live events, sports venues, and experiential environments across the United States and internationally. The company's core capabilities span projection mapping (ice rinks, basketball courts, baseball outfields, building facades, and tables), LED video walls using AOTO and Unilumin panels, broadcast video production with Sony and Haivision infrastructure, and creative content services including 3D animation, motion graphics, AR/MR experiences, and real-time rendering. Its proprietary Zelus platform ingests live sports statistics and player tracking data for real-time in-venue visualization, and Q-SYS control plugins are sold through an online shop to AV integrators. Core technology partners include Christie Digital (first-in-North-America deployment of Griffyn 4K50-RGB projectors), Disguise, Stype, Ventuz, and Unreal Engine.

The company serves professional sports teams and leagues (NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL), sports venues and stadiums, themed entertainment operators, higher education institutions, transportation infrastructure (via the 2023-acquired Critical Infrastructure and Transportation Division), and corporate brands. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based engagements — event activations starting at low six figures and permanent turnkey installations ranging from mid-six figures to over $1 million — supplemented by recurring Quince Cares maintenance contracts and one-time software license sales for Q-SYS plugins. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting sports organizations, venues, event producers, and Fortune 500 brands, supported by an industry-events presence (INFOCOMM, SVG College Summit, ISE Barcelona) and a portfolio-driven website. With approximately 50 full-time employees, an Orlando production studio opened in 2024, and a 28+ year operating history, Quince Imaging remains privately held and veteran-owned, with no disclosed institutional investors.
