At IBC2026, BZBGEAR will present a complete camera-to-fiber broadcast chain, integrating four key stages of live production into a single working system. The demonstration, taking place at Hall 11, Stand 11.A26, aims to show broadcasters how they can address acquisition, production, encoding, and transport challenges with a unified approach rather than assembling disparate components.
The acquisition stage 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 1 TB. The BG-ADAMO-JRND and BG-ADAMO-JRDA offer similar control and single-cable install at 1080p@60Hz, with various optical zoom options. This combination allows for a 4K hero angle alongside HD coverage, all controlled from a single 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, a 7-inch touchscreen, a 4D joystick, a T-bar, and built-in chroma key, picture-in-picture, and logo overlay. A USB-C webcam output enables direct streaming to conferencing platforms, and recording is done via USB or SD card without a PC. Camera control is over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA over IP.
The encoding stage is managed by the BG-STREAM-DE, a one-channel SDI/HDMI encoder, decoder, and recorder. It supports H.265/H.264 encoding up to 1080p@60Hz and output up to 3840x2160p@60Hz, with SDI and HDMI loop-through. Transport options include SRT, RTMP, HLS, and RTSP, with NDI and Dante AV-H available under license. Audio embed/de-embed and USB 3.0 recording to MP4, TS, or MOV provide a safety copy.
Transport is handled 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 over single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers at zero-frame latency. It offers 48Gbps video bandwidth, HDCP 2.3, and passes RS-232, IR, CEC, 1G Ethernet, and USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2 KVM over the same fiber, eliminating ground loops and EMI.
Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, stated, "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 underscores the importance of integrated solutions in broadcast infrastructure, where interoperability and reliability are critical. By presenting a complete chain, BZBGEAR addresses the industry's need for seamless workflows that reduce complexity and cost. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
