IBC 2026

The IBC 2026 concluded successfully at the RAI Amsterdam on September 14. As a premier annual barometer for the global media and entertainment technology sector, IBC2026 brought together industry partners to explore the technological evolution and future direction of broadcasting and live streaming. iSmart Video presented its suite of broadcasting-grade, Pro AV, and wireless mobile live streaming products at Booth 11.B07, addressing new industry trends through technological innovation.

The broadcasting and live streaming industry is evolving in three major directions: professional, lightweight, and intelligent. Professionalization is reflected in 4K UHD, HDR, and high frame rates gradually becoming standard image quality, while multi-camera coordination, IP-based transmission, and remote production have become the norm for collaboration. Lightweighting means smaller device sizes, higher integration, and pocket-sized devices that delivers professional images. Intelligence integrates AI smart tracking, auto framing, and voice/gesture control into shooting and recording, significantly lowering the operational threshold for professional videography. iSmart Video is deeply engaged in R&D of pro intelligent video camera systems, responding to professionalization needs with broadcast-grade image quality and full-process production capabilities, practicing the lightweight direction with highly integrated functions and pocket-sized design, and assisting production shooting with AI tracking to create more possibilities for professional videography.

I. Professional: One-Stop Professional Imaging Solutions

Professionalism varies by scenario, and different fields have different stringent standards. iSmart Video creates dedicated products for pro-av production scenarios, meeting differentiated professional needs with precise functional configurations.Pro-AV: PBC-120F, Built for High-Level Production Pro-AV has always had the highest threshold in the professional video field — expensive equipment, complex systems, and rigid deployment have deterred many teams. iSmart Video's PBC-120F, is designed precisely for this challenge. When a news studio is live on air, or when a critical moment in a sports event is about to unfold, every frame must withstand professional scrutiny. The PBC-120F responds to the stringent production requirements with three core capabilities: pro image quality, multi-camera coordination, and professional connectivity with software and hardware protocol compatibility:

Pro Image Quality The 4/3" 4KP60 PTZ camera PBC-120F features a Dual cam design, supporting simultaneous output of dual 4KP60 UHD images. The Tracking camera locks onto details and captures the action, while the Full-View camera covers the entire scene and conveys the atmosphere — making recordings more vivid and narratives more compelling. The Tracking camera is equipped with a 4/3" large-format CMOS sensor with 20 megapixels — this is the power of broadcast-grade image quality: the transparency brought by a large sensor makes every frame look as if it has been polished. With 20x optical zoom, even from great distances, it can precisely capture every vivid expression and every movement detail: the sweat on an athlete's face, the tears in an actor's eyes, the props in a guest's hands — even the finest textures are rendered in exquisite detail. With rich and transparent colors and clean, sharp images, the visual impact is so compelling that you cannot look away. The Full-View camera uses a 1/1.8" CMOS with 8.46 megapixels and an 85-degree wide field of view, capturing the grandeur of the arena and the passionate live atmosphere. When the cheers rise and the lights focus on that moment, you in front of the screen feel as if you are sitting in the front row. OIS optical image stabilization, PDAF phase detection autofocus, and OLPF optical low-pass filter — three technologies ensure the subject remains clear at all times, perfectly creating an immersive viewing experience. The PBC-120F delivers a satisfying answer to broadcast-grade stringent image quality with outstanding image performance and stunning visual effects.

Multi-Camera Synchronization Built-in GenLock and TimeCode ensure precise synchronization across multiple cameras in complex production environments, with seamless scene switching and efficient, effortless post-production editing.

Professional ConnectivityEquipped with rich interfaces including 12G-SDI and SFP+, and supporting Full NDI and Free-D protocols — a single network cable completes IP-based network transmission, and Free-D protocol support provides robust support for AV virtual studio production.

Whether it is live news broadcasting from a television station, real-time sports event transmission, multi-camera production of variety shows, or the integration of virtual and real in virtual studios, the PBC-120F delivers stable output with proven capability, handling it all with ease.

III. Intelligent: AI Empowerment, Truly Freeing Your Hands for Shooting

In traditional sports event recording, the unpredictable nature of the arena requires photographers to stay constantly focused and anticipate every possible wonderful moment. Yet even so, sometimes they are still a step too late, letting the moment slip away in an instant; or the hard-won captured image becomes a wasted shot due to framing issues.

iSmart Video intelligent cameras are equipped with AI tracking functionality — no need to stare intently at the screen during shooting: capturing wonderful moments, rendering clear images, and composing perfect frames are all automatically handled by the camera. Rich tracking modes can be flexibly selected according to the recording scenario: Lecturer tracking, Speaker tracking, Auto framing, Smart gallery, Anything tracking, and further supporting Gesture control and Voice tracking dual control — operate the camera with just your voice or a wave of your hand. The diverse tracking modes cover different shooting scenarios such as sports events, artistic performances, personal interviews, and live commerce, fully meeting the intelligent shooting needs of broadcast production and Pro AV fields — freeing your hands and letting shooting return to creation.
