BZBGEAR on Product
Developments and its
Ambitious Growth Plans
CI chats with BZBGEAR's Chris Graham about
the company's technology innovations, its
trade-show schedule and its global growth plans.
Commercial Integrator:
What are BZBGEAR's tech
plans for 2023 with regard
to software and hardware?
Chris Graham: As always, we
continue to innovate and create
amazing products. We are
very proud to have received
the Top New Technology (TNT)
award at ISE 2023 for our new
8K matrix switcher. Every single
day, our goal is to create the
best-quality products possible,
and that's not going to be any
different for 2023 or 2024.
For 2023, a lot of folks know
we have our BG-ADAMO-4K,
our AI auto-tracking camera.
However, there was a big
demand for a 1080p version of
this camera. So, we're excited
we're going to be releasing in
May or June our BG-ADAMOJR
1080p version of the 4K. It's
going to have all of the same
features, like tally lights. It's
going to have auto-tracking.
And, of course, an amazing
image and great motor. We're
honored these two cameras
won awards at ISE as well!
We also have a series of 4K
matrix switchers coming out.
We have everything from our
BG-4K-VP44 to the BG-4KVP88.
These are basically
amazing matrix switchers
that also support videowalls
and multiview. And we have
our AV-over-IP coming out.
We also have control apps.

We continue to support our
hardware with our control
programs and apps.
CI: Discuss BZBGEAR'S
2023 trade-show lineup,
including past shows and
upcoming shows.
Graham: Of course, we
have this posted up on our
LinkedIn page, Facebook...
all the dates coming out to
the future. We have a huge
assortment of trade shows
Chris Graham, director of sales and
business development, BZBGEAR
continues on later in the year.
We'll be going to Amsterdam
again for IBC. And, of course,
the ISE show in Barcelona early
next year. It's been a great
overall presence there for us
because it seems like the folks
in Europe really, really dig our
products. They're super happy
with the quality and functionality.
We've been bringing
on new partners recently. So,
we're super excited to go back
to Europe later down the line.
'Every single day, our goal is to create
the best-quality products possible, and
that's not going to be any different for
2023 or 2024.' - Chris Graham, BZBGEAR
and expos we'll be exhibiting
at, including everything from
the HIMSS show, which was
a medical show, to houses
of worship with CLF. And, of
course, we're visiting some of
our partners for their private
shows. The big one was NAB.
My team was there; unfortunately,
I wasn't able to make
it. We had everyone else there
to help answer questions and
give demonstrations. And we
can't forget about InfoComm,
right? InfoComm is going to
be huge this year in Orlando,
Fla. We're really excited about
that. So, we have a super-busy
schedule for the spring and
beginning of summer.
And then, of course, it just

CI: Discuss BZBGEAR's
expansion plans regarding
both international growth
and growth within the
company.
Graham: The growth rate for us
is exceptional. That's how our
CEO, Eugene Bocharov, looks at
things: He's constantly trying to
predict the future, so to speak.
And, so far, he's been really
good at it. We work as a team
to come up with the best plan.
But, yes, we are expanding both
internationally and nationally.
We have some great new partners
we've been working with in
the United States, and more to
come for international.
Currently, we've been
bridging a lot of gaps internationally.
We're talking to
a fair number of European
distribution companies about
helping us get our products to
Europe. There's a lot of folks
out there who are interested.
We understand this, and, so,
we continue to push forward.
And, so far, all our conversations
with these new friends
of ours - these new partners
- are going amazingly. They
really like our products; they
really like our attitude.
Again, the attitude, to us,
is everything. You know, you
can have a great product. But,
if you don't have folks who
support that product properly,
then you're missing something.
So, for us, it's important that
our staff is passionate and
knowledgeable about our
products. And I feel like, when
people call us - whether it's
an engineer or a pastor from
a church - they feel that. It
resonates with them that this is
a great company. And I can tell
you, almost every phone call
I get, that is some of the feedback.
They say, " Wow! You
guys are great. " So, there's a lot
to a company like ours besides
making products: It's making
a great team and, obviously,
putting out a great image for
our clients out there, so they
can feel that we're a reliable,
solid company to go with for
any of their applications.
