Broadcast technology exhibitions often feature isolated components, leaving attendees to envision how devices might interoperate. At IBC2026, BZBGEAR plans to present a fully integrated chain that spans acquisition, production, encoding, and transport, demonstrating a live workflow that addresses the entire signal path from camera to fiber.
The centerpiece of the exhibit is the award-winning ADAMO PTZ camera series, shown in two IP versions: the BG-ADAMO-4KND (NDI|HX 3) and BG-ADAMO-4KDA (Dante AV-H). Both models deliver up to 4K at 60Hz over HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI, with USB and IP outputs, and offer 12X or 25X optical zoom. AI-powered auto-tracking operates in Presenter and Zone modes, while integrated tally lights and an onboard microSD writer capable of recording up to 1TB of 4K video provide standalone iso recording. Data, power, and control are transmitted over a single category cable, simplifying installation. Complementing these are the BG-ADAMO-JRND and BG-ADAMO-JRDA, which provide 1080p at 60Hz with the same control workflow and single-cable connectivity, available with 12X, 20X, or 30X zoom. This pairing enables a 4K hero angle alongside HD coverage, all managed from one control surface.
Production is handled by the BG-Commander-UltraX, an all-in-one 4K switcher and PTZ joystick controller with onboard recording. It features four HDMI inputs that accept signals up to 4K at 30Hz, separate program and monitor outputs, a 7-inch touchscreen, a 4D joystick, a step-less knob, and a sliding T-bar. Built-in chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and a full transition set are included. A USB-C webcam output allows the program feed to be used as a virtual camera in streaming or conferencing platforms, and recording is done directly to a USB drive or SD card without a PC. Camera control is via ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA over IP.
For encoding, the BG-STREAM-DE serves as a one-channel SDI/HDMI encoder, decoder, and recorder. It encodes H.265 or H.264 at up to 1080p at 60Hz, with output up to 3840x2160p at 60Hz. Both SDI and HDMI loop-through are provided to maintain local feeds during contribution. Transport options include SRT, RTMP, HLS, RTSP over HTTP/TCP/UDP, and TS over UDP in unicast or multicast, with NDI and Dante AV-H available under separate license. Audio embed and de-embed are supported via 3.5mm connectors, and USB 3.0 recording to MP4, TS, or MOV offers a safety copy without additional hardware.
The final link is the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F, a point-to-point transmitter and receiver pair that extends signals over single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers (6.25 miles) at zero-frame latency. It supports 8K at 60Hz 4:4:4 with DSC 1.2a, uncompressed 4K at 60Hz 4:4:4, and visually lossless 4K at 144Hz 4:4:4, with 48Gbps of video bandwidth (FRL 6) and HDCP 2.3. Full-duplex RS-232, bi-directional wideband IR, CEC pass-through, 1G Ethernet pass-through, and USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2 KVM all travel over the same fiber, eliminating ground loops and EMI associated with copper runs between structures.
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."
The demonstration will take place at IBC2026 in Hall 11, Stand 11.A26 at the RAI Amsterdam from September 11–14, 2026. Exhibition hours are Friday 10:30–18:00, Saturday and Sunday 09:30–18:00, and Monday 09:30–16:00. BZBGEAR engineers will be available throughout the show to discuss system designs, bills of materials, and specific distance and bandwidth requirements. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
