What Alpha does

Alpha is a privately-held audiovisual solutions provider and AV integrator specializing in broadcast production innovation, headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, installs, and supports custom AV and broadcast systems, digital signage, IPTV, LED display solutions, and cloud-based live production services for enterprise clients across seven vertical markets: casinos and gaming, broadcast and media, sports and entertainment venues, corporate, education, government, and esports. Marquee deployments include the US Bank Stadium video control room for the Minnesota Vikings, the Minnesota Twins' Target Field systems, the University of Georgia Athletic Association's $80M indoor training facility, the Minnesota State Capitol renovation, Churchill Downs' audio overhaul, and Muckleshoot Casino Resort's 3,360-square-foot exterior LED display with 27.4M synchronized pixels.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by Cloud Production — a cloud-based live production platform that enables switching, recording, encoding, processing, and distribution in the cloud while talent collaborates remotely across locations; Alpha is recognized as a pioneer that helped design the first cloud-based NFL virtual draft pick broadcast. Additional core offerings include the proprietary CastNET digital signage platform (with GameView and content management features), Experiential Display (custom indoor and exterior LED), Digital Signage & IPTV, Collaboration & Presentation, Sound Integration, Production, and In-Room Entertainment. Technology architecture relies on deep integrations with leading broadcast and proAV vendors including VizRT, Ross Video, Grass Valley, Riedel, Gallery Sienna, Q-SYS, Solid State Logic, Waves Audio, Audinate, Haivision, AWS Elemental, LiveU, SAVI, Primeview, and VITEC, enabling end-to-end solution delivery without in-house dependency on any single technology.

Alpha generates revenue through two primary streams: project-based professional services for AV systems design, integration, and installation (quote-based, custom pricing per engagement) and subscription/usage-based cloud production services. The go-to-market motion is consultative enterprise field sales targeting C-suite and operational leaders at large organizations, supported by industry events (notably G2E for gaming), case study-driven content marketing, and joint go-to-market with technology partners. With 51-100 employees and no public funding or ownership disclosures, Alpha operates as an independent specialist integrator with a multi-decade track record, particularly in the casino vertical where it has executed 500+ integrations across 125+ properties over 30+ years.
