BZBGEAR has announced a range of new products at InfoComm 2026, including the XLink-ONE AV-over-IP system, the BG-4K-VP1616 matrix switcher, AI-enabled conferencing solutions, and the BG-Commander-UltraX production studio. The announcements reflect the company's focus on advancing HDMI 2.1 capabilities, reducing network infrastructure costs, and addressing emerging markets such as esports venues.
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 transmission over standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating the need for expensive 10G network infrastructure. End-to-end latency is under one frame, and streams are 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 others rolling out through the year.
BZBGEAR also expanded its 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, 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.
In conferencing, BZBGEAR introduced the BG-Cyclops-Pro, an all-in-one 4K UHD video bar with a dual-lens system: a 120° ultra-wide panoramic lens and a 12x optical zoom lens. AI features include auto-framing, speaker tracking, and Smart Gallery, which uses sound localization and facial recognition to dynamically extract participants. Audio is handled by a six-element beamforming microphone array with full Audio 3A processing and a full-range speaker. The device supports BYOM/BYOD workflows with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless screen projection, USB 3.0, HDMI, and RJ45. Alongside Avento, BZBGEAR aims to reshape conferencing with AI that is genuinely useful and audio that needs no separate DSP.
The BG-Commander-UltraX collapses a production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder into a single unit. It is a 4-channel HDMI production switcher accepting up to 4K input, with dual HDMI outputs, a USB-C virtual camera output for direct connection to streaming platforms, and direct-to-USB/SD recording. It includes a built-in 4D PTZ joystick, sliding T-bar, precision knobs, a 7-inch LCD touchscreen, and PTZ control over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA-over-IP. Production features include chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and multiple transition effects.
BZBGEAR is investing in HDMI 2.1 and native 4K120 workflows across its catalog, with XLink-ONE as the clearest expression. The company is also targeting esports venues, showcasing products purpose-suited for ultra-low latency and high-refresh-rate signal handling, including XLink-ONE, the VP Series, and the Commander UltraX.
"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."
BZBGEAR will showcase these innovations at InfoComm 2026, taking place June 13–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth N8051. Free passes are available with VIP code BZB771 at the registration link: register. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
