What dve advanced systems does

dve advanced systems GmbH, founded in 2013 by Jürgen Firsching as a continuation of dve GmbH (established 1998), is a B2B systems integrator and Value-Added Reseller (VAR) specializing in professional media technology for the postproduction, broadcast, animation, and VFX industries in the DACH region. The company distributes hardware and software from approximately 60 manufacturers, including Adobe, Autodesk, Blackmagic Design, Maxon, NVIDIA, Epic Games, EIZO, AJA, BirdDog, OpenDrives, and Chaos, covering the full media production stack from acquisition through postproduction to distribution and archive. Core product categories include professional color-critical monitors (EIZO ColorEdge series including the flagship PROMINENCE CG1 HDR reference monitor), GPU-accelerated workstations (BOXX, HP Z-series), live production switchers (Blackmagic ATEM), capture/playout cards (DeckLink, AJA KONA), storage systems (OpenDrives Atlas, Spectra Logic, ELEMENTS), and software spanning editing (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro), 3D/animation (Maya, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Unreal Engine), VFX plugins (FumeFX, Sapphire, Mocha Pro), workflow automation (Cinedeck ConneX, farmerswife, ShotGrid, ftrack), and rendering engines (V-Ray, Redshift, Arnold, RenderMan).

The business operates on a B2B-only basis ("Verkauf ausschließlich an Gewerbetreibende") with four revenue streams: hardware resale (BOXX, NVIDIA professional GPUs, EIZO monitors, Blackmagic/AJA video I/O, storage and networking gear), software licensing and resale (Adobe Creative Cloud, Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection, Maxon One, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, Epic Games Unreal Engine), professional services (technical consultation, installation, integration, and support at published rates of €60 per 30-minute work unit or €1,200 per 10-hour day), and cloud/workflow solutions (Cinedeck ConneX, asset management, remote workflow, live production systems). Pricing on hardware and software is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company uses a direct sales model with named account managers and emphasizes technical consultation and project-specific solution design.

Since August 28, 2025, dve advanced systems GmbH has been fully merged into netorium AG, a Wiesbaden-headquartered media IT integrator, expanding its addressable market from DACH to the broader European space and combining postproduction workflow expertise with netorium's broadcast and IT infrastructure portfolio. In the same period, the company acquired all rights to the three10 X media workflow software following the original developer's insolvency, marking its first move from pure reseller/integrator into proprietary software ownership, with development continuing in-house. Founder and former Managing Director Jürgen Firsching transitioned to Board Member (Vorstandsmitglied) of netorium AG following the merger, and the dveas specialist team has been retained within the combined entity.
