Fully-Integrated Conference System Success Case — CTBC Business School

CTBC Business School (CTBC), located in the ancient capital of Tainan, was renamed in 2015 following a donation from CTBC Financial Holding. Starting with the public welfare spirit of "lighting a lamp to illuminate a life," the school's team focuses on the development guidelines of "liberal arts, macro vision, professionalism, and pragmatism." It has transformed the school into a professional financial academy aligned with international trends, aiming to become the most practical business school in Asia and serving as a cradle for cultivating international financiers.

In 2020, the school needed to renovate its classrooms, hoping to combine elements of finance, culture, technology, and the ancient capital of Tainan to design a multi-functional teaching and conference space with a strong financial character in a liberal arts style. At the same time, it needed to integrate the latest technological applications such as video conferencing, multimedia teaching, and online webinars to improve communication efficiency and simplify workflow requirements, achieving a usage scenario that combines finance, technology, liberal arts, and professionalism.

Challenges

The school expected the overall design to meet the requirements of "liberal arts elegance," where various technological equipment must match the interior design to present a professional and high-quality scene. Various usage details also had to be considered, such as whether the user's desktop space is sufficient, and whether the equipment's cabling would affect convenience and aesthetics.

In such medium-to-large conference spaces or lecture halls, speaking while sharing multimedia presentations is a common scenario, requiring clear audio pickup and sound reinforcement without any interference or noise. Meanwhile, during multi-party video conferences, how to ensure remote participants can see and hear the speaker's video and audio clearly—making sure they are heard clearly, seen clearly—is a key consideration and challenge in the planning and design of this project.

Solutions

In response to the school's needs, Shou-Zhi Technology, which was responsible for this project, chose BXB's complete products and solutions after multi-faceted evaluations to meet the requirements, successfully completing this seamless integration of liberal arts design, space, and technology application.

First, the conference system is the core of this solution, utilizing the BXB FCS-6300 conference system. The digital architecture of the FCS-6300 connects the conference main unit and all chairman and delegate microphones using CAT5e network cables, ensuring the stability of the overall conference speeches. Meanwhile, the FCS-6300 features convenient TCP/IP protocol network control, making it easy for operators to manage daily meetings, such as setting up connections, conference speech modes, and audio output adjustments via computers or mobile devices.

Cross-platform conference order management can be accessed via computers, tablets, and

synchronized control via smartphone web browsers

In terms of seating and desktop design, elegant and noble banker lamps are equipped, filling the entire space with a strong financial atmosphere. To amplify this beauty, BXB specially adopted flush-mounted conference microphones made of one-piece aluminum alloy. The integrated panel also functions as an information outlet, perfectly combining AC outlets and USB charging ports, thereby maximizing the usable desktop space. The microphone features a cardioid polar pattern for sound pickup, preventing other background noises from being captured and interfering with communication, ensuring the speaker's ideas are heard clearly and exert a greater impact.

The system further integrates speaker video tracking and close-up design, paired with three HDC-713 cameras and video linkage, allowing speakers on the floor to be clearly seen by remote participants regardless of where they are seated.

To integrate video conferencing and multimedia live streaming needs, the BXB HDR-731 streaming media processor is adopted. Through real-time streaming processing, it integrates multimedia audio and video—including camera-captured footage, presentations, and computer screens during teaching, meetings, or seminars—and outputs them using customized layout designs. This allows remote video or online live stream participants to clearly view course content and live scenes, enabling more efficient remote teaching or online seminars with a sense of reality.
