Broadcast technology exhibitions often present isolated components—a camera here, a switcher there—leaving integrators to envision how the pieces might work together. At IBC2026, BZBGEAR is taking a different approach by assembling an entire production chain on its stand, from image acquisition to long-distance signal transport. The company will showcase four integrated stages: ADAMO auto-tracking PTZ cameras in NDI|HX 3 and Dante AV-H versions, the BG-Commander-UltraX portable production switcher, the BG-STREAM-DE encoder-decoder-recorder, and the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F single-mode fiber transport system. Running continuously for all four days of the show, this end-to-end demonstration addresses a critical need for broadcasters who must solve acquisition, production, encoding, and transport as a unified workflow.
The significance of this announcement lies in its practical implications for system designers and broadcast engineers. Rather than evaluating individual boxes, attendees can see how the entire chain performs under realistic conditions. The ADAMO cameras, for instance, output up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI, with AI-powered auto-tracking and onboard microSD recording up to 1 TB. The BG-Commander-UltraX collapses a flypack into a single portable unit, featuring a 4K switcher, PTZ joystick controller, and onboard recording, with a USB-C webcam output for direct streaming. The BG-STREAM-DE handles encoding and decoding with support for SRT, RTMP, and other protocols, while the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F extends signals up to 10 kilometers over single-mode fiber at zero-frame latency. Together, these components eliminate the compatibility guesswork that often plagues multi-vendor installations.
Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, explained the rationale: "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 hands-on, solution-oriented approach reflects a growing demand for proven interoperability in an era of IP transition.
For facilities planning upgrades, the ability to test a complete signal path before purchase can reduce integration risks and deployment time. The fiber transport system, for example, carries 8K@60Hz 4:4:4 with DSC 1.2a and uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 over 10 kilometers, while also supporting RS-232, IR, Ethernet, and USB KVM over the same fiber—a compelling proposition for stadium, studio, and campus-wide links. By presenting all four stages as a working system, BZBGEAR not only demonstrates technical capability but also positions itself as a provider of end-to-end solutions. IBC2026 runs from September 11–14 at the RAI Amsterdam, with BZBGEAR located at Hall 11, Stand 11.A26. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
