At IBC2026, taking place September 11–14 at the RAI Amsterdam, BZBGEAR will present a fully integrated broadcast chain spanning acquisition, production, encoding, and transport. Rather than exhibiting isolated components, the company will operate a complete, end-to-end system on Stand 11.A26 in Hall 11 for all four days of the show. The demonstration aims to show broadcasters and integrators how a cohesive workflow can address common challenges in live production.
The acquisition layer features the award-winning ADAMO PTZ camera line, with two IP versions: the BG-ADAMO-4KND (NDI|HX 3) and BG-ADAMO-4KDA (Dante AV-H). These cameras output up to 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI, alongside USB and IP, and offer 12X or 25X optical zoom. AI-powered auto-tracking in Presenter and Zone modes enables hands-free operation, while integrated red/green LED tally lights and an onboard microSD writer that records up to 1 TB of 4K video provide an iso record without additional hardware. Data, power, and control travel over a single category cable. For HD coverage, the BG-ADAMO-JRND and BG-ADAMO-JRDA models deliver the same control workflow and single-cable install at 1080p@60Hz, with 12X, 20X, and 30X zoom options. This pairing allows a 4K hero angle and HD coverage for the rest of the room, all controlled from one 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 accepting sources up to 4K@30Hz, separate program and monitor outputs, a 7-inch touchscreen, a 4D control joystick, a step-less knob, and a sliding T-bar. Built-in chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and a full transition set manage production in the box. A USB-C webcam output sends the program feed directly into any streaming or conferencing platform as a virtual camera, and the unit records 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 is a one-channel SDI/HDMI encoder, decoder, and recorder designed for facilities standardizing on IP transport. It encodes H.265 or H.264 at up to 1080p@60Hz, with output to 3840x2160p@60Hz. Both SDI and HDMI loop-through are provided, ensuring the local feed remains available. Transport options cover 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 run over 3.5 mm connectors, and USB 3.0 recording to MP4, TS, or MOV provides a safety copy without a second box.
Transport is addressed 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 across single-mode fiber to 10 kilometers (6.25 miles) at zero-frame latency, with 48Gbps of video bandwidth (FRL 6) and HDCP 2.3. Full-duplex RS-232 at 115,200bps, bi-directional wideband IR, CEC pass-through, 1G Ethernet pass-through, and USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2 KVM all ride 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 integrated chain matters because broadcasters increasingly seek streamlined workflows that reduce complexity and cost while maintaining high quality. By demonstrating a working system, BZBGEAR provides a tangible reference for facilities looking to upgrade or build new production infrastructures. The use of IP and fiber transport aligns with industry shifts toward flexible, scalable architectures. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
