BZBGEAR is making a significant splash at InfoComm 2026 with the debut of multiple product lines designed to push the boundaries of professional AV technology. The centerpiece is XLink-ONE, an AV-over-IP distribution system built on a proprietary codec that transmits 4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz content over standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating the need for expensive 10G network infrastructure. According to the company, end-to-end latency runs under one frame, and every stream is secured with AES 256 encryption. The platform natively supports USB-over-IP, multi-stream distribution, video walls, and frame-accurate AV sync, launching as a family of six products.
The announcement comes as the AV industry grapples with increasing demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency solutions, particularly in esports and live events. BZBGEAR's CEO Eugene Bocharov emphasized the need for true innovation over incremental updates, stating, '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 positioned as that breakthrough, offering HDMI 2.1 performance over existing network infrastructure.
Beyond XLink-ONE, BZBGEAR is expanding its VP Series with the BG-4K-VP1616, a 16x16 seamless 4K matrix switcher that also functions as a video wall processor and multiviewer. The VP1616 supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, handles Dolby and DTS 5.1 audio, and offers multiple control options including a free app for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. This allows integrators to deploy a single chassis for three distinct functions, simplifying system design and reducing costs.
In the conferencing space, BZBGEAR introduced the BG-Cyclops-Pro, an all-in-one 4K UHD video bar with a dual-lens system featuring a 120° ultra-wide panoramic lens and a 12x optical zoom lens. AI-driven features include auto-framing, speaker tracking, and Smart Gallery, which uses sound localization and facial recognition to dynamically arrange individual participants. The device includes a six-element beamforming microphone array with full Audio 3A processing and a full-range speaker, supporting BYOM/BYOD workflows with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless screen projection, and multiple connectivity options.
The BG-Commander-UltraX aims to collapse a live production studio into a single box, combining a 4-channel HDMI production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder. It accepts up to 4K input, offers dual HDMI outputs, a USB-C virtual camera output for direct streaming to platforms like Zoom and OBS, and direct-to-USB/SD recording. Production controls include a 4D PTZ joystick, sliding T-bar, and 7-inch LCD touchscreen, with features like chroma key and picture-in-picture. The UltraX is designed for mobile production crews, houses of worship, and corporate AV teams.
BZBGEAR is also championing HDMI 2.1 and 4K120 workflows across its catalog, with XLink-ONE as the prime example. The company sees esports as a key growth area, with venues requiring ultra-low latency, high-refresh-rate signal handling, and dense multi-source switching. At InfoComm, BZBGEAR will showcase products purpose-suited for esports, including XLink-ONE, the VP Series, and the Commander UltraX.
