RIA Corperation

What RIA Corperation does

RIA Corporation is a privately held broadcast and video technology systems integrator founded in 1975 and headquartered in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. The company provides end-to-end solutions — consulting, engineering, system design, installation, checkout, documentation, and training — for live video production environments, serving broadcast/news, sports/live events, education, storage & archive, corporate, government, and house of worship customers across the United States. RIA's core technology portfolio combines resale and integration of third-party broadcast hardware and software, including content management and workflow systems (Mediator), integrated production automation (Ignite), enterprise broadcast automation, audio/video distribution and routing equipment, broadcast cameras, encoders/decoders, multi-viewers, storage solutions, and production furniture. The firm operates as an authorized integrator and reseller for three flagship manufacturer partners — Ross Video, Grass Valley, and Evertz — supplemented by an extended catalog of additional equipment brands.

The business model blends three revenue streams: hardware resale of partner equipment (cameras, switchers, routers, servers, encoders/decoders, audio gear, cabling, and displays), professional services (consulting, engineering, design, installation, documentation, and training for turnkey projects), and managed/end-to-end solutions delivered across multiple verticals. Go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales via direct engagement, supplemented by channel/reseller relationships with manufacturer partners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are custom-built per customer requirement. RIA is founder/owner-operated under CEO Dave Roberts, with a lean team of roughly six to ten named individuals combining sales, engineering, design, and administrative functions. No external investors, parent companies, subsidiaries, M&A activity, funding rounds, or geographic expansion beyond the United States are indicated in the available data.
