BZBGEAR Debuts XLink-ONE™ AV-over-IP, AI Conferencing, and 4K120 Esports Innovations at InfoComm 2026

LAS VEGAS, NV, May 29, 2026 — BZBGEAR®, a global manufacturer of professional AV and broadcasting solutions, will unveil its most ambitious product lineup to date at InfoComm 2026, headlined by the launch of XLink-ONE™, a next-generation AV-over-IP distribution platform built on a proprietary codec. Spanning AV-over-IP, AI-first conferencing, all-in-one live production, and HDMI 2.1 signal distribution, the showcase reflects BZBGEAR's bet on where signal demand is heading — not where it is today.

InfoComm 2026 runs June 13–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with exhibits open June 17–19 in the North and Central Halls. Visit BZBGEAR at Booth N8051 to see the full lineup in action, with live demonstrations across distribution, conferencing, production, and esports workflows. Attendees can register for a free show pass using VIP code BZB771.

XLink-ONE™ — Professional AV-over-IP, Reimagined

AV-over-IP has been a core focus for BZBGEAR since the company's founding, yet the category has seen far more iteration than true innovation. XLink-ONE is BZBGEAR's answer. Built around a proprietary codec, XLink-ONE is an HDMI 2.1, 48Gbps AV distribution system capable of moving 4K@120Hz and 8K@60Hz content over standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet — eliminating the need for expensive 10G network infrastructure.

End-to-end latency runs under one frame, and every stream is secured with AES 256 encryption. The platform natively supports USB-over-IP, multi-stream distribution, video walls, flexible picture-in-picture, integrated scaling, and frame-accurate AV sync. Developed in close partnership with a key technology partner, XLink-ONE launches as a family of six products. The full lineup unveils at InfoComm, with select SKUs shipping directly from the show floor and the remainder rolling out through the year.

BG-4K-VP1616 — The VP Series Goes Big

The award-winning VP Series has been one of BZBGEAR's standout performers, with the 4x4, 8x8, and 9x9 models consistently overdelivering for integrators. The new BG-4K-VP1616 scales the platform to a full 16x16 — and delivers three products in a single chassis.

The VP1616 is a 16x16 seamless 4K matrix switcher, a video wall processor offering up to seven distinct wall modes per monitor, and a multiviewer capable of displaying up to 16 sources on a single output with multiple split-display layouts — all with zero switching delay or picture loss during transitions. It supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4, is HDCP 2.2 compliant, and handles Dolby and DTS 5.1 audio with independent analog audio extraction, EDID management, and seamless scaling. Control options are extensive: front panel, IR remote, RS-232, IP, full web GUI, or the free BG-Switch-Control app for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

BG-Cyclops-Pro and Avento — AI-First Conferencing

BZBGEAR is bringing serious firepower to the conferencing category this year, led by the BG-Cyclops-Pro, an all-in-one 4K UHD video bar with a true dual-lens system. A 120° ultra-wide panoramic lens delivers full-room awareness, paired with a 12x optical zoom lens for detailed close-ups.

AI runs the room with auto-framing, speaker tracking, and Smart Gallery, which uses sound localization and facial recognition to dynamically extract and arrange individual participants — giving remote attendees equitable presence in the meeting. Audio is professional-grade out of the box: 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 tuned for clarity. Built for modern BYOM/BYOD workflows, the Cyclops-Pro includes 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 is reshaping the conferencing conversation around AI that is genuinely useful, audio that needs no separate DSP, and a setup simple enough for a non-AV professional to run.

BG-Commander-UltraX — A Complete Live Production Studio in a Single Box

The BG-Commander-UltraX collapses what is typically four separate pieces of gear — production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder — into one portable, all-in-one unit.

At its core, the UltraX is a 4-channel HDMI production switcher accepting up to 4K input, with dual HDMI outputs (program and monitoring), a USB-C virtual camera output that plugs directly into Zoom, Teams, OBS, or any streaming platform without a separate capture card, and direct-to-USB/SD recording with no PC required. 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. Production features include chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and multiple transition effects — broadcast polish in a unit small enough to fit in a backpack. The UltraX is purpose-built for mobile production crews, houses of worship, classrooms, corporate AV teams, and podcast and event setups that demand broadcast quality without a control room.

Championing HDMI 2.1 and the Road to Higher Signal Demand

While much of the industry still treats 4K as the ceiling, BZBGEAR is investing heavily in HDMI 2.1 and native 4K120 workflows across its catalog. XLink-ONE is the clearest expression of that commitment, but the same forward-looking engineering shows up throughout the lineup. The goal is straightforward: keep BZBGEAR customers ready for where signal demand is going, rather than catching up to it.

Built for the Rise of Esports Venues

Esports is among the fastest-growing live-event categories in the world, with infrastructure requirements unlike any other — ultra-low latency, high-refresh-rate signal handling, dense multi-source switching, large spectator video walls, and reliable streaming output, all within the same venue. At InfoComm 2026, BZBGEAR will showcase a range of products purpose-suited to building modern esports venues, from XLink-ONE's HDMI 2.1 4K120 distribution to the VP Series for video walls and multiviewing and the Commander UltraX for production. It is a category BZBGEAR is actively investing in, and the booth will reflect that focus.

Beyond the Headliners

Beyond these flagship launches, attendees can expect to see the full breadth of the BZBGEAR catalog on display — multiple award-winning PTZ cameras, production switchers, and controllers on the broadcasting side, alongside 4K/8K processors, video walls, multiviewers, and signal testing equipment from the Pro AV side. There is something on the stand for every workflow BZBGEAR serves.

Executive Quote

"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. Pair that with what we're doing in AI conferencing, all-in-one production, and esports infrastructure, and InfoComm 2026 is where you'll see exactly where we believe Pro AV is headed — and we intend to get our customers there first."
