BZBGEAR is making a significant push across multiple Pro AV categories at InfoComm 2026, introducing a proprietary AV-over-IP system, advanced AI conferencing tools, and products tailored for esports venues. The company aims to address longstanding industry challenges with innovations that prioritize performance, simplicity, and future-proofing.
The centerpiece of the launch is XLink-ONE, an HDMI 2.1, 48Gbps AV distribution system that transmits 4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz content over standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet. By eliminating the need for expensive 10G network infrastructure, BZBGEAR claims to reduce deployment costs while maintaining under-one-frame latency and AES 256 encryption. The system supports USB-over-IP, multi-stream distribution, video walls, picture-in-picture, integrated scaling, and frame-accurate AV sync. According to the company, XLink-ONE is built around a proprietary codec developed with a key technology partner. The family includes six products, with select SKUs shipping from the show floor and others rolling out through 2026.
In the conferencing segment, BZBGEAR is introducing the BG-Cyclops-Pro, an all-in-one 4K UHD video bar with a dual-lens system featuring a 120° panoramic lens and a 12x optical zoom. AI-driven capabilities include auto-framing, speaker tracking, and Smart Gallery, which uses sound localization and facial recognition to isolate participants for equitable remote presence. The device includes a six-element beamforming microphone array with full Audio 3A processing (acoustic echo cancellation, automatic gain control, and noise suppression) and a full-range speaker. It supports BYOM/BYOD workflows with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless screen projection, USB 3.0, HDMI, and RJ45, and can be mounted on a table, wall, or display. BZBGEAR also highlighted Avento, another AI-first conferencing product, though details were not fully disclosed.
For live production, the BG-Commander-UltraX collapses a production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder into a single portable unit. It accepts up to 4K HDMI input across four channels, offers dual HDMI outputs (program and monitoring), a USB-C virtual camera output for direct integration with platforms like Zoom and OBS, and direct-to-USB/SD recording. Production control includes a 4D PTZ joystick, sliding T-bar, precision knobs, and a 7-inch LCD touchscreen, with PTZ control over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA-over-IP with tally lights. Features like chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and multiple transition effects aim to deliver broadcast polish in a compact form factor.
BZBGEAR is also investing in esports infrastructure, showcasing XLink-ONE for low-latency distribution, the VP Series for video walls and multiviewing, and the Commander UltraX for production. The company notes that esports venues require ultra-low latency, high-refresh-rate signal handling, and dense multi-source switching, all of which its products address. The new BG-4K-VP1616, a 16x16 seamless 4K matrix switcher, also functions as a video wall processor with up to seven wall modes per monitor and a multiviewer for up to 16 sources on a single output, supporting 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and HDCP 2.2.
Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, stated: "AV-over-IP has been part of our DNA from day one, but the category has been coasting on incremental updates for years — and our customers deserve better than incremental. XLink-ONE is the breakthrough we've been building toward: true HDMI 2.1, 4K120 performance over the network they already have, with no compromise on latency or security. Pair that with what we're doing in AI conferencing, all-in-one production, and esports infrastructure, and InfoComm 2026 is where you'll see exactly where we believe Pro AV is headed — and we intend to get our customers there first."
BZBGEAR's booth at InfoComm 2026 (N8051) will also feature its full catalog of PTZ cameras, production switchers, controllers, 4K/8K processors, video walls, and signal testing equipment. For more information, visit bzbgear.com. A free show pass is available with VIP code BZB771.
