BZBGEAR has announced a slate of product launches at InfoComm 2026, headlined by the XLink-ONE AV-over-IP system, AI-powered conferencing solutions, and innovations targeting the esports market. The announcements underscore the company's commitment to pushing beyond incremental improvements in professional AV technology.
The XLink-ONE system is built around a proprietary codec and supports HDMI 2.1, enabling 48Gbps throughput for 4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz content over standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating the need for costly 10G infrastructure. End-to-end latency is under one frame, and AES 256 encryption secures all streams. The platform supports USB-over-IP, multi-stream distribution, video walls, picture-in-picture, integrated scaling, and frame-accurate AV sync. Developed with a key technology partner, XLink-ONE launches as a family of six products, with select SKUs shipping from the show floor and others rolling out through the year.
Expanding its award-winning VP Series, BZBGEAR introduced the BG-4K-VP1616, a 16x16 seamless 4K matrix switcher, video wall processor, and multiviewer in a single chassis. It supports up to seven distinct wall modes per monitor and can display up to 16 sources on a single output with zero switching delay. The VP1616 handles 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2, Dolby and DTS 5.1 audio with independent analog extraction, EDID management, and seamless scaling. Control options include front panel, IR remote, RS-232, IP, web GUI, and the BG-Switch-Control app for multiple platforms.
In the conferencing category, BZBGEAR launched the BG-Cyclops-Pro, an all-in-one 4K UHD video bar with a dual-lens system: a 120° ultra-wide panoramic lens and a 12x optical zoom. AI features include auto-framing, speaker tracking, and Smart Gallery, which uses sound localization and facial recognition to dynamically arrange individual participants. Audio is handled by a six-element beamforming microphone array with full Audio 3A processing and a full-range speaker. The Cyclops-Pro supports BYOM/BYOD workflows with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless screen projection, USB 3.0, HDMI, and RJ45.
The BG-Commander-UltraX collapses production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder into one portable unit. It accepts up to 4K input on four HDMI channels, features dual HDMI outputs, a USB-C virtual camera output for direct connection to streaming platforms, and direct-to-USB/SD recording. Production control includes a 4D PTZ joystick, sliding T-bar, precision knobs, and a 7-inch LCD touchscreen, with PTZ control over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA-over-IP. Features include chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and multiple transition effects.
BZBGEAR is also investing heavily in HDMI 2.1 and native 4K120 workflows, with XLink-ONE as the flagship example. The company is targeting the growing esports market with products that offer ultra-low latency, high-refresh-rate signal handling, and dense multi-source switching. At InfoComm 2026, BZBGEAR will showcase esports-ready solutions including XLink-ONE, VP Series for video walls, and the Commander UltraX for production.
Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, stated: '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 the breakthrough we've been building toward: true HDMI 2.1, 4K120 performance over the network they already have, with no compromise on latency or security.'
BZBGEAR will be at booth N8051 at InfoComm 2026, June 17-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Free passes are available with VIP code BZB771. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
