At IBC2026, BZBGEAR will present a fully integrated broadcast chain that spans acquisition, production, encoding, and fiber transport. The demonstration, set for Hall 11, Stand 11.A26 at the RAI Amsterdam from September 11–14, 2026, aims to show how disparate components can work as a unified system rather than isolated links.
The acquisition stage features BZBGEAR's award-winning ADAMO PTZ cameras in two IP versions: the BG-ADAMO-4KND (NDI|HX 3) and BG-ADAMO-4KDA (Dante AV-H). These cameras output up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI, alongside USB and IP, with 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. Complementing these are the BG-ADAMO-JRND and BG-ADAMO-JRDA, which offer the same control workflow and single-cable install at 1080p@60Hz with 12X, 20X, or 30X optical zoom options, allowing a 4K hero angle and HD coverage to be managed from one control surface.
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 sources 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 sends the program feed directly to streaming or conferencing platforms as a virtual camera, and recording goes to a USB drive or SD card without a PC in the signal path. Camera control is via ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA over IP.
For encoding, the BG-STREAM-DE serves as a one-channel SDI/HDMI encoder, decoder, and recorder. It accepts SDI or HDMI input and encodes H.265 or H.264 at up to 1080p@60Hz, with output up to 3840x2160p@60Hz. Both SDI and HDMI loop-through are provided, preserving the local feed during contribution. 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 extra hardware.
Fiber transport is provided by the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F, a point-to-point transmitter and receiver pair that 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, with 48Gbps of video bandwidth (FRL 6) and HDCP 2.3. 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 ride the same fiber, eliminating ground loops and EMI associated with copper runs between structures.
The significance of this demonstration lies in its end-to-end approach. As Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, noted, "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." By presenting a working system, BZBGEAR addresses the fragmentation that often complicates broadcast infrastructure planning. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
