Our history
IVS was founded in Naples by Roberto Castellano, a pioneer of 3D graphics and non-linear video editing. With his brother Paolo Castellano, who joined as International Sales Manager and buyer, IVS grew quickly, doubling its revenue for several consecutive years. By the early 2000s it was one of the most important distributors of non-linear editing systems in Europe and worldwide, having sold thousands of dpsVelocity, Quattrus, Matrox Digisuite, Pinnacle, FAST and Canopus systems.
In those years IVS also became a software house, building on its experience to develop proprietary technologies. Products born in this period include:
Today IVS keeps developing software and has made the production of workstations and servers a central part of its business, with high-performance solutions for the Italian and international markets, designed for professional video production, broadcasting and IT.
