At IBC2026, BZBGEAR will present a fully integrated broadcast chain that spans from camera acquisition to fiber transport, demonstrating how broadcasters can build a seamless workflow. The company’s exhibit in Hall 11, Stand 11.A26 at the RAI Amsterdam will feature a continuous, end-to-end system that includes PTZ cameras, a portable production switcher, an encoder-decoder-recorder, and single-mode fiber transport capable of reaching 10 kilometers at zero-frame latency. This approach addresses a common industry challenge: most demonstrations show isolated components, but BZBGEAR is wiring all four links together to prove interoperability and real-world performance.
The acquisition layer features BZBGEAR’s award-winning ADAMO PTZ cameras in NDI|HX 3 and Dante AV-H versions. The BG-ADAMO-4KND and BG-ADAMO-4KDA output up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI, with USB and IP options, and offer 12X or 25X optical zoom. AI-powered auto-tracking in Presenter and Zone modes enables hands-free operation, while integrated red/green LED tally lights and an onboard microSD writer that records up to 1 TB of 4K video provide practical benefits. Data, power, and control travel over a single category cable. For HD coverage, the BG-ADAMO-JRND and BG-ADAMO-JRDA deliver 1080p@60Hz with 12X, 20X, or 30X zoom, sharing the same control workflow and single-cable install.
Production is handled by the BG-Commander-UltraX, an all-in-one 4K production switcher and PTZ joystick controller with onboard recording. It features four HDMI inputs accepting up to 4K@30Hz, separate program and monitor outputs, a 7-inch touchscreen, a 4D control joystick, a step-less knob, and a sliding T-bar. Built-in chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and a full transition set manage production in the box. A USB-C webcam output allows the program feed to be used as a virtual camera in streaming or conferencing platforms, and recording goes directly to a USB drive or SD card without a PC. Camera control is via ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA over IP.
The BG-STREAM-DE encoder-decoder-recorder provides one-channel SDI/HDMI encoding, decoding, and recording. It supports H.265 or H.264 at up to 1080p@60Hz, with output up to 3840x2160p@60Hz. Both SDI and HDMI loop-through are provided, ensuring the local feed remains available. Transport options include SRT, RTMP, HLS, RTSP over HTTP/TCP/UDP, and TS over UDP in unicast or multicast, with NDI and Dante AV-H available under separate license. Audio embed and de-embed run over 3.5 mm connectors, and USB 3.0 recording to MP4, TS, or MOV offers a safety copy without a second device.
For long-distance transport, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F transmitter and receiver pair carries 8K@60Hz 4:4:4 with DSC 1.2a, uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, and visually lossless 4K@144Hz 4:4:4 across single-mode fiber to 10 kilometers (6.25 miles) at zero-frame latency. It supports 48Gbps of video bandwidth (FRL 6) and HDCP 2.3, with full-duplex RS-232 at 115,200bps, bi-directional wideband IR, CEC pass-through, 1G Ethernet pass-through, and USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2 KVM all riding the same fiber. This eliminates ground loops and EMI issues common with copper runs between structures.
Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, explained the rationale: “Every broadcaster we talk to is solving the same problem from four different directions at once — how to acquire it, how to cut it, how to get it on the network, and how to move it across a campus or a city. Showing one box at a time doesn't answer that. So this year we're bringing the whole chain to Hall 11 and running it end to end, and our engineers will be standing next to it for four days. Bring us the path that won't hold and we'll work it out on the stand.”
IBC2026 takes place September 11–14 at the RAI Amsterdam. Exhibition hours are Friday 10:30–18:00; Saturday and Sunday 09:30–18:00; Monday 09:30–16:00. BZBGEAR engineers will be on Stand 11.A26 every day, and the full chain will run continuously. Attendees are encouraged to bring system drawings, bills of materials, or distance and bandwidth figures for working technical conversations. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
