We are now DV411!
The old name, Computervice, is a combination of two words, Computers and Service, and it does not adequately represents our focus on Digital Video.

More info

The DV411 name better reflects what we do: Digital Video systems.  It also reflects on "DV", a very popular digital video format, the fact that 4:1:1 is a characteristic of DV describing its color sampling structure.  In the US, "411" is a national information telephone number, that people call to get directions or find a person or a business.

In other words, DV411 is where you can get help with Digital Video, from basic information all the way to turnkey workstations and solutions.  DV411: Digital Video Systems Integration, Expertise, Information and Integrity.

Who We Are

DV411 is a Systems Integrator and Dealership specializing in computer systems and components for Non-Linear Editing, Video Compositing and 3D Animation.

Computervice was founded in 1992 in Santa Monica, California, building mission-critical fault-tolerant servers and networks.  Fault-tolerant solutions are designed to be "highly available" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with very low down-time.  Configuring such systems gave us a great and unique experience in high performance disk arrays, fault-tolerant multi-processor systems, fail-over, replication and clustering technologies.

In 1994, Computervice was one of the first Computer and/or Video companies to dive into the Digital arena when it started building Digital Video systems based on Targa 2000E™ board from Truevision, which was one of the very first open products in the Non-Linear Editing (NLE) industry.  Since then, Computervice has worked with and configured many systems across various platforms and NLE applications.

Among our clients are many prominent production, post-production and effects studios. Our equipment was used in production of a number of blockbuster movies, TV shows and commercials. Our systems are used in many countries around the globe.

We specialize in:

  • systems, components and applications for NLE, video compositing, 3D animation
  • Pro Audio and Video equipment, components, accessories
  • High Performance Hard Disks, Disk Arrays, related components and accessories

The 411 on DV411

As you may or may not have known, Computervice has been undergoing some changes, specifically, a name change.  In the spring of 2001, we started the ball rolling with our new website at dv411.com.  The last phase of this process is now completed thanks to longtime Computervice customer, Editor/Designer, Peter Schlatter who has come up with a brilliant logo and new look to complement our new name, DV411.

Why DV411?

Computervice' original focus was on building high availability systems for financial and communications companies.  The name, "Computervice" was intended to symbolize the merger of Computers and Service, fitting as Service and Support have been the key components to our success. 

As our focus has widened and developed over the years, we feel our name should reflect its progression.  DV411 is the synergy of Digital Video and Information - our expertise and unsurpassed knowledge of Digital Video are paramount to understanding the changing needs of our clients.
