At IBC2026, BZBGEAR is set to demonstrate a fully integrated broadcast chain, from acquisition to fiber transport, at Hall 11, Stand 11.A26 in the RAI Amsterdam. The company is wiring together four key components—ADAMO auto-tracking PTZ cameras, a portable production switcher, a broadcast encoder-decoder-recorder, and single-mode fiber transport—into one working system that will run continuously for all four days of the show, from September 11–14, 2026. This comprehensive display aims to address the piecemeal approach common at industry events, where only individual links in the broadcast chain are shown.
The acquisition segment 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 AI-powered auto-tracking in Presenter and Zone modes, integrated tally lights, and onboard microSD recording up to 1TB. The BG-ADAMO-JRND and BG-ADAMO-JRDA offer similar control and single-cable install at 1080p@60Hz with various zoom options. For production, the BG-Commander-UltraX combines a 4K switcher and PTZ joystick controller with onboard recording, chroma key, and a USB-C webcam output. Encoding is handled by the BG-STREAM-DE, a one-channel SDI/HDMI encoder, decoder, and recorder supporting H.265/H.264 and multiple transport protocols. Finally, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F provides point-to-point fiber transport up to 10 kilometers at zero-frame latency, supporting 8K@60Hz and uncompressed 4K@60Hz, along with RS-232, IR, Ethernet, and USB KVM over the same fiber.
Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, emphasized the importance of an end-to-end solution: "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." This approach allows attendees to see the entire workflow in action and discuss real-world challenges with engineers.
The implications for the broadcast industry are significant. By integrating acquisition, production, encoding, and transport into a seamless chain, BZBGEAR aims to simplify workflows, reduce equipment complexity, and lower costs for broadcasters and AV integrators. The ability to transport high-bandwidth signals over long distances with zero latency addresses critical needs in live production, sports broadcasting, and remote events. The demonstration at IBC2026 provides a tangible example of how broadcasters can future-proof their operations. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
