70 years on the cutting edge
Purpose, process and ceaseless technology investment drive great results. Every time.
Service Heritage
Leveraging a unique history
Nearly seven decades ago, SVT pioneered the then-radical notion of AV-as-a-service by providing video broadcast technology for race course facilities on a subscription basis. This inaugurated a focus on customer satisfaction that today permeates every aspect of SVT’s operations. We understand that the value we provide must be continuously demonstrated and reaffirmed. Our ethic of never resting on our laurels makes SVT exceptionally responsive and accountable across the entire range of solutions we provide.
Service Ethic
Your ultimate AV partner
How does SVT provide a distinctly superior customer experience? Through operational excellence and an extraordinary service ethic. Nowhere is our dedication to our clients more evident than in the white-glove customer experience, and in our continual investment in SVT’s industry-leading technology and service-delivery infrastructure. For value added resellers, the experience is so enveloping that it turns end-user customers into lifers. And working directly with enterprise clients, we create custom integrations and make them cookie-cutter simple, scalable and consistent.

In fact, culture drives every decision we make, because our success depends on being true to who we are, both as individuals and as a company.

Managed Services
SVT: A Pioneer in AV Managed Services
Family-owned since 1955, SVT was known originally as Sport View Television Corporation, a provider of video broadcast technology for race course facilities throughout North America. At the time, most courses weren’t in a position to make significant capital expenditures on technology, so we provided on a subscription basis – pioneering what is now known as managed services and support.
Consequently, our customers didn’t pay for the gear, they paid for performance. Nearly seven decades later, that remains our measure of value. Every solution we design, integrate, and maintain has to work for our customers – not just most of the time, but all the time. We achieve astonishing levels of performance via a technology infrastructure, team, and partners who keep our clients’ systems up and running with services such as Pro-Tech Management, the absolute state-of-the-art in AV performance assurance.
Brand Evolution
The legacy of a logo
The evolution of the SVT brand captures key periods of our history. For example, the transition from initial logo, which identified us as “A division of CRS Productions,” reflected a move from motion picture and film production work to pari-mutuel services. As SVT expanded into other gaming and entertainment venues that required a wider variety of solutions, we became Sport View Technologies. Our next phase of growth, into markets well beyond sports and entertainment, prompted us to remove “Sport” from our logo. Today’s visual identity connects directly to our history while communicating the dynamism of a company that’s ever evolving to provide the cutting-edge solutions our customers require.
