The case study to be introduced this month is the Tainan District Court. The old Fuqian Road office building of the Taiwan Tainan District Court was built in 1912 during the Japanese colonial period. Due to its small size and age, with the assistance of former President Chen Jian-min and former President of the Tainan Branch of the Taiwan High Court Mr. Li Zhi-qing, and the cooperation of the Taiwan Provincial Government and the Tainan City Government, the current site was found and active planning for construction began. Starting from 1995, budgets were approved and allocated year by year. To effectively utilize land resources, the Tainan Summary Court and the Ordinary Court were designed to be in the same building, with two basement levels and eleven floors above ground, aiming for a solemn and beautiful design. The foundation stone was laid in June 1996, with former Judicial Yuan President Shi Chi-yang presiding over the groundbreaking ceremony. The project was completed in late October 2000. The new office building stands tall, solemn, and beautiful, meeting international standards. The hardware facilities are now highly complete, and it is hoped that software measures will be strengthened to enhance the judicial image and win the public's trust in the judiciary.

This project was undertaken by a telecommunications engineering firm in southern Taiwan. This firm provides professional planning, installation, and maintenance technical services for various electronic equipment, such as telecommunications, surveillance cameras, video conferencing, microphone conferencing, and public address amplifier systems. As an engineering installation technical service organization specializing in low-voltage systems, the company possesses rich knowledge and experience in electronics and computers. With a strong sense of responsibility and a commitment to achieving quality goals, they never allow failure or compromised quality in the work entrusted to them by clients, earning high praise and recognition.

This conference system is installed in the 10th-floor conference hall and the 11th-floor control room of the office building. Since the original conference system in the conference hall and control room (including 1 conference system main unit in the control room, 1 desktop delegate unit in the control room, 1 desktop chairman unit in front of the stage, 1 desktop delegate unit on the podium, and 48 desktop delegate units on the conference table) is outdated and no longer meets requirements, it must be replaced. The replacement requirements are as follows:

1. Remove old equipment and cabling, and build a brand new conference system.

2. The new system needs to be integrated with the original audio-visual equipment to achieve clear and loud sound without any feedback or noise.

3. Redundancy mechanism required: When any microphone fails and becomes unusable, other microphones can still be used; when any microphone loop is disconnected or damaged, the microphone connection can still be maintained through another loop.

4. When the microphone is active, 3G and 4G mobile phones transmitting and receiving within 5 cm of the microphone head will not cause radio wave interference or noise.

5. Built-in speech-video linkage interface, allowing future integration with cameras for automatic speaker tracking and positioning.

To address the aforementioned requirements, the BXB 6300 conference series was selected to meet the organization's functional needs. The BXB FCS-6350 main unit can connect up to 1,009 conference microphones (including 10 chairman units and 999 delegate units). It also features multiple conference microphone speaking management modes (Chairman Only / Override / FIFO / Open / Voice Activation and Deactivation modes, etc.) and a large graphical LCD display. The main unit features menu guidance in both Chinese and English, clearly displaying various statuses of the conference system. Additionally, with built-in TCP/IP protocol network control, users can connect directly to the conference main unit via wired or wireless networks using a computer or handheld mobile device. This allows them to modify various meeting rules and assign delegate microphones to speak through a web browser, and it can also be used in conjunction with video system control. It also features an RS-485 camera control interface, which can link with a high-speed dome camera system to perform automatic speaker tracking. The main unit features a failover mechanism—this mechanism uses loop wiring. When a certain microphone fails or a line is disconnected or damaged, the faulty product can be immediately isolated without requiring any alternative wiring or signal bypass actions. At this time, the microphone connection can be maintained through another loop, ensuring that the meeting is not interrupted.

For the conference microphones, the UFO-6311/6312 tabletop chairman and delegate units were selected. This microphone won the 2015 Taiwan Excellence Award and the iF Design Award. It features 25 different color combinations to match the conference room decor and tabletop color scheme. The unit has a built-in digital audio processing chip, featuring automatic gain control and independent sensitivity adjustment. When the microphone is turned on for speaking, it resists RF interference from 3G and 4G mobile phones transmitting or receiving within 5 cm of the microphone head, ensuring the meeting proceeds without interruption and providing users with the best conferencing equipment.
