Trans Audio Video

What Trans Audio Video does

Trans Audio Video S.r.l. (operating as TAV GROUP, with sub-brands TAV Media, TAV Academy and TAV Security) is an Italian authorised distributor of professional audio/video and security hardware, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Caserta with a secondary office and training Academy in Cologno Monzese. The company sells and supports premium third-party brands across two distinct verticals: Media (cinema, broadcast, advertising, photography and professional video) and Security (industrial video surveillance, smart city, logistics, transport and critical infrastructure), organised into a three-division structure that spans product distribution, training and after-sale maintenance.

The Media division distributes cinema cameras (Sony Burano, Canon Cinema EOS C50), mirrorless bodies (Sony Alpha 7R VI, Canon EOS R6 Mark III), PTZ cameras (Canon CR-N400 with NDI HX2), lenses, LED lighting (ARRI Omnibar, Nanlux Matrix 2500B/C, Evoke 5C), lighting control accessories (Nanlux motorized yoke, MA Lighting/ETC/ChamSys DMX/RDM/CRMX integration), cinema accessories (ARRI cforce MAX motors, Tilta Nucleus autofocus adapters), and wireless intercoms (Hollyland Solidcom M1 PRO). The Security division distributes Hanwha Vision (including ATEX/IECEx explosion-proof PTZ), Avigilon (H6XP Bullet with integrated Z-Wave IoT hub, H5A Multisensor, HALO 3C environmental sensor, Alta access control) and Pelco (Sarix Enhanced Duo panoramic, Silent Sentinel Aeron) cameras, alongside Pelco housings/illuminators and Secure Logiq NVR/server appliances. The TAV Academy delivers vendor-aligned operator training on video and security technologies.

The business model is hardware distribution plus service. Revenue is generated through one-time perpetual-licence sales of distributed products (no SaaS, no subscription tier, no proprietary app or API), priced at retail through dedicated e-commerce storefronts (media.transaudiovideo.com and security.transaudiovideo.com) and through specialist field sales at the two physical offices. Pricing spans from accessories around €267 (Nanlux Evoke 5C) up to cinema cameras at €25,000 (Sony Burano), with promotional levers including vendor cashback (Sony Welcome to Alpha, Canon cashback), zero-interest financing and trade-in offers. Customer segments are vertical-defined (Media Professionals and Security Sector integrators/end-users), supported by a sales-led GTM with both direct enterprise sales and mid-market e-commerce, plus brand-partner co-marketing through events, blog/SEO content, email newsletters and social media on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube.
