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

BZBGEAR is launching a suite of new products at InfoComm 2026, including the XLink-ONE AV-over-IP system, AI-driven conferencing devices, and esports-focused solutions, the company announced. The announcements highlight the company's focus on high-performance, cost-effective Pro AV innovations.

The XLink-ONE is a proprietary codec-based AV distribution system that supports HDMI 2.1, 48Gbps bandwidth, and can transmit 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, scaling, and frame-accurate AV sync. Developed with a key technology partner, XLink-ONE launches as a family of six products, with select units shipping from the show floor and the rest rolling out through the year.

BZBGEAR is also expanding 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, and offers multiple control options including front panel, IR remote, RS-232, IP, web GUI, and the BG-Switch-Control app.

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 arrange participants. Audio includes a six-element beamforming microphone array with full Audio 3A processing and a full-range speaker. It supports BYOM/BYOD workflows with built-in Wi-Fi, wireless screen projection, USB 3.0, HDMI, and RJ45. The Avento conferencing solution complements the Cyclops-Pro.

The BG-Commander-UltraX is a portable all-in-one live production studio that combines a production switcher, PTZ joystick controller, capture device, and recorder. It accepts up to 4K input on four HDMI channels, provides dual HDMI outputs, a USB-C virtual camera output for direct connection to streaming platforms, and direct-to-USB/SD recording. Production features include a built-in 4D PTZ joystick, sliding T-bar, precision knobs, 7-inch LCD touchscreen, PTZ control over ONVIF 2.8 and VISCA-over-IP, chroma key, picture-in-picture, logo overlay, and multiple transition effects.

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 venues are a key focus, with products like XLink-ONE for low-latency distribution, VP Series for video walls, and Commander UltraX for production. The company's booth at InfoComm 2026 will showcase these solutions alongside PTZ cameras, production switchers, controllers, 4K/8K processors, video walls, multiviewers, and signal testing equipment.

“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.”

InfoComm 2026 runs June 13–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with exhibits June 17–19. BZBGEAR will be at booth N8051. Visitors can register with VIP code BZB771 for a complimentary pass. For more information, visit bzbgear.com.
