BZBGEAR Unveils XLink-ONE AV-over-IP, AI Conferencing, and Esports Innovations at InfoComm 2026

BZBGEAR has introduced a suite of new products at InfoComm 2026, including the XLink-ONE AV-over-IP system, AI-driven conferencing solutions, and esports-focused gear. The announcements reflect the company's commitment to pushing beyond incremental updates and addressing growing demands for high-resolution, low-latency video distribution.

The centerpiece is XLink-ONE, an HDMI 2.1, 48Gbps AV distribution system that transmits 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 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 the remainder 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 with independent analog extraction, EDID management, and seamless scaling. Control options include front panel, IR remote, RS-232, IP, web GUI, and the BG-Switch-Control app for various platforms.

In conferencing, the BG-Cyclops-Pro is 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 and arrange individual participants. Audio features a six-element beamforming microphone array with full 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, and mounts to a table, wall, or display. Together with Avento, BZBGEAR aims to reshape conferencing with AI that is genuinely useful, audio that needs no separate DSP, and simple setup.

The BG-Commander-UltraX collapses a production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder into one portable 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 platforms like Zoom and Teams, 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, plus 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. It is designed for mobile production crews, houses of worship, classrooms, corporate AV teams, and podcast setups.

BZBGEAR is investing heavily in HDMI 2.1 and native 4K120 workflows across its catalog, aiming to keep customers ready for higher signal demand. Esports is a key focus, with products like XLink-ONE, the VP Series, and Commander UltraX suited for ultra-low latency, high-refresh-rate signal handling, dense multi-source switching, and large spectator video walls.

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."

BZBGEAR will showcase these innovations at InfoComm 2026, booth N8051. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
