BZBGEAR has announced a series of product launches at InfoComm 2026, headlined by XLink-ONE, a professional AV-over-IP distribution system that the company claims reimagines the category. Built around a proprietary codec, XLink-ONE is an HDMI 2.1, 48Gbps system capable of transmitting 4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz content over standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating the need for expensive 10G network infrastructure. End-to-end latency is under one frame, and each stream is secured with AES 256 encryption. The platform supports USB-over-IP, multi-stream distribution, video walls, picture-in-picture, integrated scaling, and frame-accurate AV sync. Developed with a key technology partner, XLink-ONE launches as a family of six products, with select SKUs shipping from the show floor and the remainder rolling out through the year.
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-driven capabilities include auto-framing, speaker tracking, and Smart Gallery, which uses sound localization and facial recognition to dynamically extract and arrange individual participants. The device includes a six-element beamforming microphone array with full Audio 3A processing (acoustic echo cancellation, automatic gain control, and noise suppression) and a full-range speaker. It supports BYOM/BYOD workflows with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless screen projection, USB 3.0, HDMI, and RJ45. BZBGEAR also highlighted Avento, though details were limited, as part of reshaping the conferencing conversation around AI that is genuinely useful and audio that needs no separate DSP.
For live production, 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 on four HDMI channels, with dual HDMI outputs (program and monitoring), a USB-C virtual camera output for direct connection to streaming platforms, and direct-to-USB/SD recording. Production control includes a built-in 4D PTZ joystick, sliding T-bar, precision knobs, and a 7-inch LCD touchscreen, with PTZ control over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA-over-IP with tally light integration. Features include chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and multiple transition effects.
BZBGEAR is also investing in HDMI 2.1 and native 4K120 workflows across its catalog, exemplified by XLink-ONE but present throughout the lineup, to keep customers ready for higher signal demand. The company showcased products suited for esports venues, including XLink-ONE for low-latency distribution, the VP Series for video walls and multiviewing, and the Commander UltraX for production. The BG-4K-VP1616, a 16x16 seamless 4K matrix switcher, video wall processor, and multiviewer, was also introduced, supporting 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2, and Dolby/DTS 5.1 audio with independent analog audio extraction, EDID management, and seamless scaling. Control options include front panel, IR remote, RS-232, IP, web GUI, and the BG-Switch-Control app.
Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR, stated, '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. 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.'
