What Cinevideo does

Cinevideo S.r.l. is an Italian B2B broadcast production services company founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Giovanni Teatino (Pescara), Italy, with 51–100 employees. It provides on-location television production services — primarily OB Van facilities, ultra slow motion camera systems, technical crews, and post-production support — to major Italian and international broadcasters (Sky Italia, RAI, Mediaset, DMAX), sports rights holders (Infront), and host-broadcaster intermediaries (Euroscena, 3ZERO2TV) covering premium live sporting and cultural events including UEFA Champions League Finals, FIFA World Cup, Serie A, Giro d'Italia, and the Rugby Six Nations.

The company's core technology assets are a fleet of 7+ mobile production units (OB1, OB3, OB4, OB5, OB6, and the flagship DOLPHIN 7.0 UHD HDR OB Van with three side expansions of ~60 sqm, supporting up to 24 UHD HDR cameras, SONY XVS-8000 vision mixing, Calrec Artemis audio, Riedel Artist intercom, and EVS replay) and a stable of I-MOVIX ultra slow motion systems — including the only globally deployed pair of I-MOVIX INFINITE 4K UHD trigger-less cameras (up to 1,000fps in 4K) plus the proprietary D-Flicker real-time flicker-elimination system co-developed with I-MOVIX. Additional capabilities include SNG, ENG, post-production, mobile power generation, and a high-end technology stack integrating Vision Research/Phantom Flex4K, Grass Valley, and MOVICOM polecam systems.

Cinevideo operates a project-based professional services revenue model with negotiated multi-year contracts (e.g., the 3-year Sky Italia Serie A agreement signed 2018) and event-by-event engagements, supplemented by host-broadcaster mandates for international competitions. Go-to-market is sales-led, with customer acquisition driven by demonstrated technical capability at tier-1 events, industry trade-show presence (SPORTEL Monaco, IBC Amsterdam), and a small but anchored set of long-tenured enterprise clients; pricing is bespoke and quote-based, with no public tiers or volume SMB channel.
