BZBGEAR, a global manufacturer of professional AV and broadcasting solutions, will present a fully integrated camera-to-fiber broadcast chain at IBC2026 in Amsterdam. The company, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Sacramento, California, will demonstrate its award-winning ADAMO auto-tracking PTZ cameras, an all-in-one portable production switcher, a broadcast encoder-decoder-recorder, and single-mode fiber transport capable of reaching 10 kilometers at zero-frame latency. The exhibit will run continuously for all four days of the show, from September 11–14, 2026, at the RAI Amsterdam in Hall 11, Stand 11.A26.
The demonstration addresses a common industry challenge: most stands at IBC show only one link in the broadcast chain, leaving integration to the imagination. BZBGEAR instead wires all four links together—acquisition, production, encoding, and transport—as a single working system. This approach matters because broadcasters, integrators, and organizations increasingly need to move high-bandwidth video across campuses, cities, or stadiums without the ground loops and electromagnetic interference associated with copper cabling. By proving the entire chain works end to end, BZBGEAR offers a blueprint for facilities looking to modernize without rebuilding their entire infrastructure.
At the acquisition stage, BZBGEAR brings its ADAMO camera line in two IP versions: the BG-ADAMO-4KND (NDI|HX 3) and BG-ADAMO-4KDA (Dante AV-H). Both output up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI, alongside USB and IP, with 12X or 25X optical zoom. AI-powered auto-tracking runs in Presenter and Zone modes, and integrated red/green LED tally lights are visible from any angle. An onboard microSD writer records up to 1 TB of 4K video, eliminating the need for a separate recording device. Data, power, and control travel over a single category cable. The BG-ADAMO-JRND and BG-ADAMO-JRDA models offer the same control workflow at 1080p@60Hz with 12X, 20X, and 30X zoom options, allowing a 4K hero angle alongside HD coverage with one control surface.
For production, the BG-Commander-UltraX collapses a flypack into a single portable unit: a 4K production switcher and PTZ joystick controller with onboard recording. It features four HDMI inputs, 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 handle production in the box. A USB-C webcam output feeds any streaming platform as a virtual camera, and recording goes directly to a USB drive or SD card without a PC. Camera control is over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA over IP.
The BG-STREAM-DE encoder-decoder-recorder handles encoding for facilities standardizing on IP. It accepts SDI or HDMI and encodes H.265 or H.264 at up to 1080p@60Hz, with output to 3840x2160p@60Hz. Both SDI and HDMI loop-through preserve the local feed. Transport options include SRT, RTMP, HLS, RTSP over HTTP/TCP/UDP, and TS over UDP, with NDI and Dante AV-H available under separate license. USB 3.0 recording to MP4, TS, or MOV provides a safety copy.
Finally, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F transports signals over single-mode fiber to 10 kilometers (6.25 miles) at zero-frame latency. It carries 8K@60Hz 4:4:4 with DSC 1.2a, uncompressed 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, and visually lossless 4K@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 ride the same fiber.
“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,” said Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR. “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.”
