BZBGEAR will demonstrate a complete camera-to-fiber broadcast workflow at IBC2026, highlighting integrated solutions for acquisition, production, encoding, and long-distance transport.
BZBGEAR to Showcase End-to-End Fiber Broadcast Chain at IBC2026

At IBC2026, BZBGEAR will present a fully integrated broadcast chain, from auto-tracking PTZ cameras to fiber transport reaching 10 kilometers at zero-frame latency. The company aims to show how its products work together as a single system, addressing the common industry challenge of acquiring, producing, encoding, and transporting video over long distances.

The chain begins with the award-winning ADAMO PTZ cameras, available in NDI|HX 3 and Dante AV-H versions. The BG-ADAMO-4KND and BG-ADAMO-4KDA 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 in Presenter and Zone modes enables hands-free operation. Integrated red/green LED tally lights are visible from any angle, and 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 offer the same control workflow and single-cable install at 1080p@60Hz, with 12X, 20X, and 30X optical zoom options, allowing a 4K hero angle and HD coverage for the rest of the room under one control surface.

For production, the BG-Commander-UltraX is 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 handle production in the box. A USB-C webcam output drops the program feed into any streaming or conferencing platform as a virtual camera, and the unit records directly to a USB drive or SD card with no PC in the signal path. Camera control is over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA over IP.

The BG-STREAM-DE is a one-channel SDI/HDMI encoder, decoder, and recorder built for facilities standardizing on IP transport without rebuilding the plant. It accepts SDI or HDMI in and encodes H.265 or H.264 at up to 1080p@60Hz, with output to 3840x2160p@60Hz. Both SDI and HDMI loop-through are provided, so the local feed survives while the signal is being contributed. 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.

Finally, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F 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. This eliminates ground loops and EMI that come with running copper between structures, making it ideal for stadium-to-truck, studio-to-master-control, or building-to-building links.

Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, explained the motivation: "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; Monday 09:30–16:00. BZBGEAR engineers will be available daily, and the full chain will run continuously. Attendees are encouraged to bring system drawings, bills of materials, or distance and bandwidth figures for working technical conversations.
