Commercial Integrator: What are you most looking forward to at InfoComm 2024? What can attendees gain from visiting BZBGEAR’s booth?
BZBGEAR: InfoComm 2024 will be our third InfoComm event and we always have great experiences when this show rolls around every June. When we first attended InfoComm back in 2022, we got the “Who are you?” questions. Now when we exhibit at shows, it’s mighty rewarding having people visit and say “BZBGEAR! I’ve heard of you. What’s new this year?”
We’ve built wonderful relationships at these InfoComm events, so we’re definitely looking forward to catching up with old faces. But we’re really excited about networking with new ones as well and exchanging ideas and stories with our fellow AV gearheads.
Attendees should definitely drop by our new-look booth this year and meet the wonderful team behind all our award-winning goodness. Our goal is to instill confidence not only in our products, but in the team that will work closely with our clients on turning their visions into reality.
And while you’re at our booth, catch and demo of our latest 8K and 4K pro AV broadcasting gear. Like the first 8K 12×12 matrix switcher in the market, the BG-8K-1212MA. Or fan favorite AI auto-tracking PTZ cameras, Adamo 4K and Adamo Jr., as well as recently awarded medical-grade Nutrix. The Swiss Army Knife of AV Distribution, BG-4K-VP and BG-4K-VPPRO, will be boasting new 16×16 models. These are all-in-one matrix switchers that also support video walls, multiviewing, and HDMI extension. We’re bringing the QuadFusion series; our latest FHD/UHD 4-channel video production switchers that are uber-versatile and mobile. And we can’t forget our Commander series of serial/IP PTZ camera joystick controllers and Air4Kast 4K@60Hz HDMI 2.0 Wireless Extender.
So much diverse gear mentioned already, yet this is just the tip of the iceberg! Make sure to see us at Central Hall, Booth C5643 to discover more and demo it all yourself. Better yet, get in free on us by registering with guest code BZB771.
Commercial Integrator: Can you talk a little more about the end-to-end 8K and 4K line of pro AV broadcasting solutions?
BZBGEAR: We’ve meticulously refined and perfected our entire catalog through the years to ensure BZBGEAR can offer a complete, unparalleled experience to our customers. We are proud to say we now have a complete end-to-end 8K and 4K line of pro AV broadcasting solutions catering to any-size project. From PTZ cameras to production switchers, from matrix switchers to video walls, and even NDI and Dante AV-H to HDBaseT. Your entire setup can now be accomplished through one award-winning brand. Not to mention all your tech support is now made super simple via a single contact — no more calls to a number of different support reps. And already have equipment from other brands? No problem! Our gear plays nice with others and can be incorporated all together in a harmonious open ecosystem.
Commercial Integrator: What are BZBGEAR’s plans for the year ahead with regard to software and hardware?
BZBGEAR: Last year, we made waves by unveiling our 8K product line for video distribution and active cabling. Hitting the ground running, our HDMI 2.1 matrix switcher (BG-8K-88MA) won the TNT Awards at Integrated Systems Europe 2023, and our HDMI 2.1 test pattern generator (BG-AVTPG-MINI-G2) received recognition as the Best of CIX 2023.
We’ve also aligned ourselves with the 8K Association to show our commitment to the 8K movement. The goal with our 8K solutions is to provide customers the highest quality standards while future proofing their projects and systems.
Our 8K lineup includes HDMI 2.1 matrix switchers, signal splitters, amplifiers, testers, and specialty cables — all supporting 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz. These resolutions ensure impeccable detail and fluidity for users and gamers.
This year, we’ve taken even larger steps — producing a new 8K tester (BG-AVTPG-8K) along with an 8K fiber extender (BG-EXH-8KF) and the aforementioned 8K 12×12 matrix switcher (BG-8K-1212MA) that will be a first in the market. We’re also working on a videowall processor and multiviewer that will support 8K. Although, I’ve got to say, the biggest news is our mission to develop an 8K PTZ camera in the very near future!
But our advancements are not just reserved for our hardware solutions. We are continually enhancing our software and control apps for our PTZ cameras, matrix switchers and AV-over-IP units. Always free to download from our website. And we are hard at work on developing a cloud-based streaming platform to enable remote control of BZBGEAR and other cameras from anywhere in the world. The first half of 2024 has been productive and we’re eager to finish the second half even stronger.
