What i9 does

i9 (legal name i9TV) is a privately-held Brazilian audiovisual solutions provider founded in 2004 and headquartered in São Paulo, operating across six integrated service lines: broadcast system integration (planning, installation, and maintenance of TV/radio/digital media infrastructure), equipment rental, studio rental (three São Paulo studios totaling 1,420m²), a 4K mobile unit supporting up to 16 cameras, end-to-end content production, and the I9Store e-commerce platform representing 110+ audiovisual equipment brands with Latin American logistics.

The company's underlying technology combines cinema-grade camera fleets (Arri Alexa, Sony F55/FX9) with broadcast-grade integration hardware (Ross matrix, Evertz routing, Allen & Heath consoles, K-Array audio, Sennheiser microphones, LED panels, PTZ cameras, and satellite transmission). i9tv delivers turnkey broadcast infrastructure for TV networks and regional affiliates, deploys mobile units for live events and reality productions, and operates studios for film and TV content. The technology portfolio is differentiated by the combination of broadcast practicality with cinematic image quality, and by the depth of integration expertise spanning switchers, master control, field production, and satellite transmission.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven across enterprise customers, with revenue derived from professional services (integration, production, mobile unit), one-time/facility rental (studios), and hardware sales through I9Store. Distribution is direct enterprise sales complemented by the e-commerce platform, with physical offices in São Paulo, Manaus, and Vitória (Brazil), plus Miami (USA) for I9Store USA LLC. Customer concentration skews toward major Brazilian broadcast networks (Record TV, Globo, SBT) and global streamers (HBO Max), with growing penetration into religious institutions, live-event producers, and adjacent verticals. The company is founder/management-controlled with no disclosed institutional equity backing.

Others

• Ross Video: Manufacturer of broadcast infrastructure (switchers, matrices, graphics) including the Ross Matrix used in i9tv's Record Manaus deployment. Key supplier/ecosystem peer rather than direct competitor.
• Imagine Communications: Vendor of broadcast routing, playout, and advertising management infrastructure. Adjacent technology peer relevant to the integration projects i9tv delivers for broadcasters.
• Vizrt Group: Provides broadcast graphics, master control, and integrated production solutions. Comparable as an ecosystem vendor adjacent to i9tv's broadcast integration business.
• Grass Valley: Broadcast technology vendor producing cameras, switchers, routers, and playout systems. Comparable as the type of technology vendor ecosystem in which i9tv integrates, rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Diversified: US-headquartered AV and broadcast system integrator delivering design, build, and managed services for media and enterprise clients. Closest direct peer to i9tv's broadcast 'Integration' service line.
• Game Creek Video: Provides mobile production facilities and broadcast integration services primarily to U.S. sports broadcasters. Comparable to i9tv in combining high-end mobile production with system integration work.
