Cine Audio Visual

What Cine Audio Visual does

Cine Audio Visual (also styled CineAV) is an Alberta-based, family-owned provider of audio/visual integration, rental, event-staging, and media-transfer services, founded by Nick Zubko in the 1950s and now led by his three sons (Daryl, Scott, and Josh). The company operates from a 42-employee footprint split between its Edmonton headquarters (10251 106 St. NW) and a Calgary regional office (131, 5655 10 St. NE), serving corporate, education, healthcare, and government clients across Alberta. Its core offering is custom A/V system design and integration, combining sound, video, lighting, and control systems delivered by AVIXA CTS-certified, factory-trained installers with a one-year warranty on every project.

Revenue is generated through four streams: custom A/V sales and integration projects (one-time license/project), short-term equipment rentals (cameras, projectors, screens, teleprompters, conferencing systems, audio mixers, lighting), professional event-staging services (show management, set design, image magnification, lighting and effects, computer graphics), and legacy media-transfer and digitization services (film, video, audio, and memory card formats). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed tiers; sales-led go-to-market relies on direct phone/email contact, in-person consultations, the company website, and a heavy dependence on referrals and repeat business from established clients.

The technology stack is integration-agnostic and built around a 20+ OEM brand portfolio including Crestron, Extron, AMX, Polycom, Barco, Shure, QSC, Kramer, LG, NEC, Samsung, Panasonic, and others. The firm holds no patents, has no disclosed API or software products, and operates strictly within the conventional AV systems integration and event-production domain with no AI/ML capability disclosed.
