Bluebell Opticom and Focal Point VR Collaborate at IBC 2025 to Showcase Optical Transport for Dual 8K Camera Signals Over a Single Fibre – IBC Stand 10.A 10

The demonstration will showcase how combining Focal Point VR’s cutting-edge multi-camera VR capture workflows with Bluebell’s advanced optical transport solutions enables high-capacity, low-latency transmission of uncompressed 8K video signals and control signals. Using a single strand of fibre, the BN328T/R pair delivers the bandwidth efficiency and signal integrity required for next-generation immersive production environments at scale.

The joint solution addresses one of the biggest challenges in immersive live production: transporting the enormous data streams generated by dual-8K and 16K-capable VR camera systems reliably and efficiently to central processing racks.

“Focal Point VR is pushing the boundaries of immersive media, and we’re delighted to support their work with our BN328 technology,” said Anil Parmar, Sales & Marketing Director at Bluebell Opticom. “Moving dual 8K video feeds and control signals over a single fibre illustrates just how much capacity and reliability our solutions can unlock for VR and live production.”

Jonathan Newth, CEO at Focal Point VR, added: “Immersive VR demands both cutting-edge cameras and rock-solid infrastructure. Our partnership with Bluebell gives production teams a proven fibre backbone that makes ultra-high-resolution VR practical in real-world venues. The ability to transport dual 8K camera feeds and the associated control of them over a single fibre is a breakthrough for scalable immersive production.”

Visitors to IBC can see the joint demonstration on the Bluebell Opticom stand 10.A10. The setup will show how optical transport underpins the future of 8K and VR production, offering efficient, resilient, and high-quality solutions for broadcasters and immersive media creators.
