BZBGEAR has announced a series of new products and innovations at InfoComm 2026, including the XLink-ONE AV-over-IP system, AI-enhanced conferencing solutions, and esports-focused infrastructure. The announcements reflect the company's commitment to advancing Pro AV technology beyond incremental updates, with a focus on high-performance, cost-effective solutions for integrators, broadcasters, and organizations.
The centerpiece of the launch is XLink-ONE, a professional AV-over-IP distribution system built around a proprietary codec. It supports HDMI 2.1 with 48Gbps bandwidth, enabling 4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz content delivery over standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating the need for expensive 10G network infrastructure. End-to-end latency is under one frame, and all streams are secured with AES 256 encryption. XLink-ONE natively supports USB-over-IP, multi-stream distribution, video walls, picture-in-picture, integrated scaling, and frame-accurate AV sync. The platform launches as a family of six products, with select SKUs shipping from the show floor and the remainder rolling out through the year. For more details, visit bzbgear.com.
The company also expanded its award-winning VP Series with the BG-4K-VP1616, a 16x16 seamless 4K matrix switcher that also functions as a video wall processor and multiviewer. It supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2, Dolby and DTS 5.1 audio with independent analog extraction, and offers control via front panel, IR remote, RS-232, IP, web GUI, or the BG-Switch-Control app.
In the conferencing category, BZBGEAR introduced the BG-Cyclops-Pro, an all-in-one 4K UHD video bar with a dual-lens system featuring a 120° ultra-wide panoramic lens and a 12x optical zoom lens. AI capabilities include auto-framing, speaker tracking, and Smart Gallery, which uses sound localization and facial recognition to dynamically arrange individual participants. The audio system includes a six-element beamforming microphone array with 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 a production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder into a single portable unit. It accepts up to 4K input via four HDMI channels, with dual HDMI outputs and a USB-C virtual camera output for direct connection to platforms like Zoom, Teams, or OBS. It includes a built-in 4D PTZ joystick, sliding T-bar, 7-inch LCD touchscreen, and production features such as chroma key, picture-in-picture, and logo overlay.
BZBGEAR emphasized its investment in HDMI 2.1 and native 4K120 workflows, exemplified by XLink-ONE, to prepare customers for higher signal demands. The company also highlighted esports as a growing category, showcasing products suited for ultra-low latency, high-refresh-rate signal handling, and multi-source switching in esports venues.
"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," said Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR. "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."
