BZBGEAR to Demonstrate End-to-End Broadcast Chain at IBC2026

At IBC2026, BZBGEAR will present a fully integrated broadcast workflow, from acquisition to fiber transport, demonstrating how individual components operate as a cohesive system. The company’s exhibit in Hall 11, Stand 11.A26 at the RAI Amsterdam will feature the ADAMO auto-tracking PTZ cameras, the BG-Commander-UltraX production switcher, the BG-STREAM-DE encoder-decoder-recorder, and the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F fiber transport solution. By wiring all four elements together, BZBGEAR aims to show broadcasters how to solve the interconnected challenges of signal acquisition, production, encoding, and long-distance transport.

The ADAMO camera line, available in NDI|HX 3 and Dante AV-H versions, delivers up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI, with AI-powered auto-tracking and onboard recording. The BG-Commander-UltraX combines a 4K production switcher and PTZ joystick controller in a portable unit, supporting four HDMI inputs and offering built-in chroma key, picture-in-picture, and direct recording to USB or SD card. The BG-STREAM-DE provides one-channel SDI/HDMI encoding, decoding, and recording with H.265/H.264 support and multiple transport protocols. The BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F extends signals up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber at zero-frame latency, carrying 8K@60Hz 4:4:4 with DSC 1.2a and uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, along with RS-232, IR, Ethernet, and USB KVM.

This integrated approach matters because broadcasters often face fragmented solutions that require extensive integration and troubleshooting. By demonstrating a working chain, BZBGEAR addresses the practical need for reliable, end-to-end workflows that can be deployed in stadiums, studios, and remote production environments. The ability to transport high-bandwidth signals over fiber without latency or ground loops is particularly significant for live events and campus-wide distributions. 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.”

The demonstration also highlights the importance of interoperability and simplified control. The ADAMO cameras support ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA over IP, allowing integration with the BG-Commander-UltraX for unified camera control. The BG-STREAM-DE’s support for SRT, RTMP, HLS, and other protocols ensures compatibility with existing IP infrastructures. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.

IBC2026 runs from September 11–14, 2026, at the RAI Amsterdam. BZBGEAR engineers will be available daily for technical discussions and system design consultations.
