BZBGEAR Debuts REEVE™ Control System and Its Full Residential Lineup at CEDIA Expo 2026

BZBGEAR®, a global manufacturer of professional AV and broadcasting solutions, will debut REEVE™, an intuitive control system for managing every screen, source, and zone.

SACRAMENTO, CA, August 28, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Introducing REEVE™ — One Interface for the Entire Home

Most homes and venues rely on separate remotes, apps, wall panels, and control systems. Even a simple change can mean moving between rooms or finding the one person who knows how everything works. REEVE™ brings video, audio, climate, cameras, and other connected devices into one clear interface, organized around the zones a household or staff actually uses.

For the custom integrator, REEVE™ is designed to remove complexity from both the rack and the truck roll:

No rack, no server PC. The tablet on the wall is the controller — fewer boxes, lower cost, and faster installs.

Organized by zones, not by devices. Integrators group spaces the way clients live in them — living areas, private suites, and outdoor spaces — and control each independently.

Scenes that do the work. A scene is a saved preset that configures every device in a zone, so a single tap can trigger displays, sources, audio, lighting, and more.

Works without internet. Control, layouts, and scenes stay on the tablet. The cloud is used only for design, updates, and remote oversight, and synchronizes when the connection returns.

Works with the gear already specified. REEVE™ controls BZBGEAR AV-over-IP alongside third-party displays, sources, matrices, and audio — including displays from Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, Sharp, TCL, Hisense, and Panasonic, and streaming and cable sources from Chromecast, Apple TV, Roku TV, Fire TV, and major service providers. REEVE™ also controls leading climate systems, professional audio, cameras, lighting, access control, motorized shades, and projection.

REEVE™ is delivered as a three-part ecosystem. REEVE™ Studio is the visual design tool where dealers build zones, controls, scenes, and device logic. REEVE™ Player is the simple interface the client uses every day. REEVE™ Cloud securely delivers configuration, updates, and remote support tools across every customer site from a single portal — updated over the air, without a truck roll.

REEVE™ software is included with compatible BZBGEAR products, with no software license and no activation fees. The REEVE tablet is sold separately.

Visitors to Booth C900 can see REEVE™ configured live and walk through a working multi-zone system. Additional availability details will be announced.

"Control has always been the part of a residential system where good hardware goes to die — the interface is confusing, the programming is expensive, and the client stops using half of what they paid for," said Eugene Bocharov, CEO of BZBGEAR. "REEVE™ is our answer to that. One interface, organized around how people actually live in a space, running locally on a tablet with no rack and no server PC. CEDIA is the right stage to put it in front of the integrators who will build with it."

The Residential Lineup Running at Booth C900

XLink-ONE AV-over-IP — Distribution That Scales With the Job

AV-over-IP has been slow to reach residential for one reason: the network bill arrived before the value did. XLink-ONE is built to run on standard gigabit networking with a managed switch — infrastructure a well-built home already justifies — rather than a ten-gigabit rebuild.

The BG-IPGEAR-XTREME is the volume model: a multicast transceiver over 1GbE with USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2 for KVM. The BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-PRO targets larger homes and estates with 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 support, 4K120, video wall and multiview modes, USB 3.1, and transmission up to 170 meters (560 feet) over Cat5e — enough to reach a detached guest house, pool house, or garage that a 100-meter budget cannot.

Because endpoints are purchased one at a time rather than as a fixed chassis, integrators size a system to phase one and add to it in year three. The XTREME-PRO earned AV Technology Best of Show at IBC 2025, and the XLink-ONE family took Best of Show at InfoComm 2026.
AIR4KAST — The Award-Winning Answer to the Display With No Cable Path

The AIR4KAST wireless HDMI family has been recognized across four consecutive show cycles, including a Commercial Integrator/CE Pro Top New Technology award in the residential wireless A/V category, Best of Show honors from Residential Systems at ISE 2024 and CEDIA 2025, and Best of Show from TWICE at CEDIA 2024 and CEDIA 2025. The AIR4KAST-PRO took a Top New Technology award again at ISE 2026.

The line separates on latency and fan-out:

BG-AIR4KAST — the retrofit workhorse. 4K60 at approximately 164 feet (230 feet at 1080p) line of sight, with HDMI loop-out on the transmitter and IR pass-through, for the plaster wall that cannot be opened, the outdoor television, or the projector across a room with no path.

BG-AIR4KAST-MKX — one transmitter to as many as four receivers, with range stepping down as receivers are added. Built for the multi-display retrofit: a game room, home bar, or gym with no home run to any screen. The MKX is also the kit BZBGEAR is giving away each day of the show.

BG-AIR4KAST-PRO — 16 to 48 milliseconds of latency with 4K60 and HDR10, 1080p120, roughly 100 meters of range, plus KVM with USB-C input and two USB ports at the receiver. Sub-50ms is the threshold where a wireless link stops being playback-only and becomes usable for anything a person interacts with.

Right-Sized Switching — For the Job That Isn't Big

Show floors are built around large matrix switchers, while the everyday residential reality is four sources and two or three displays. BZBGEAR will demonstrate the full ladder, beginning with a 4x2 at $199 and an 8K 2x2 at $299, and running up through the BG-MVS4X4-4KL, a 4x4 positioned as the sensible default for whole-home distribution.

The demonstration centerpiece is the BG-4K-VP44, a 4x4 that is three products at once: a seamless 4K60 4:4:4 matrix with no black frame on transitions, a video wall processor with seven modes, and a multiviewer that places four sources on one output. It adds EDID management, scaling, and audio de-embedding to both analog and S/PDIF with Dolby and DTS 5.1, and accepts control from the front panel, IR, RS-232, IP, web GUI, or the BZBGEAR Switch Control app — in a 10-inch desktop chassis drawing 23 watts, with no rack required.

48Gbps and 8K-Ready — Built for the Content That Exists Today

BZBGEAR's position on 8K is a practical one: there is very little 8K content, and the real reason to build an HDMI 2.1 chain today is what 48Gbps does for 4K. Full 4K at 120Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and HDR does not fit inside an 18Gbps pipe — a limit that surfaces as soft text or a dropout on a source change. Sources already output it; the chain in the middle is what lags behind.

Being 8K-ready does not require an expensive rack. The BZBGEAR 8K switcher line starts at $39 for a 2x1 and runs through a 4x1 at $81, with audio-extraction versions from $99 to $349. The 8K matrix line begins with a 2x2 at $299 and a 4x2 at $499, and 8K KVM switches start at $399.
KVM — The Most Under-Sold Category in Residential

The home office stopped being temporary. Most now hold two computers — a work machine the client does not control and a personal one — and one good display the client would rather not duplicate. That is a textbook KVM application, and one most residential integrators have never quoted because the category name sounds like someone else's business.

A 2x1 4K KVM is $149 and a 4x1 is $199 — a line item rather than a project. The 8K line is aimed squarely at rooms integrators actually build: the BG-8K-KVM21A, at $399, supports 8K60, 4K at 120Hz and 144Hz, and 1080p at 240Hz, with USB 3.0 for real peripherals plus IR and RS-232 so it drops into a control system. Dual-monitor 2x1 and 4x1 models are $799, and a 4x1 with built-in multiview is $999.

Extension is where KVM meets the "no equipment in the room" instinct that defines good residential work. A 4K HDMI/USB KVM extender at $199 reaches 230 feet over Cat6, a 4-port USB 3.0 extender runs 330 feet with power over the cable, and a USB-C extender at $1,199 carries video, USB 3.2, gigabit Ethernet, and 100 watts of laptop charging over a single Cat run — the cleanest desk an integrator can hand a client.
