This multi-functional conference room serves as both a general municipal meeting room and a command center. It frequently hosts multi-party video conferences with various local government agencies to discuss municipal affairs. Therefore, the Incheon Metropolitan Government required a conference system that integrates camera tracking, video conferencing, and speaking time management for each seat.

Solutions

BXB FUN microphones were introduced in this project. This conference system provides an automatic audio-video tracking mode, which can be linked with cameras using RS-232 or RS-485 communication protocols. As long as the microphone unit detects continuous speaking from a participant, the camera automatically zooms in on the speaker's face, allowing all attendees present to clearly view the speaking screen. In addition, when paired with video conferencing software, this close-up shot can also be transmitted to different government agencies via video, facilitating multi-point video conferencing and enhancing communication efficiency.

The FUN microphone provides multiple conference modes, including Chairman-only mode, Override mode, and FIFO (First-In-First-Out) mode, which can be displayed via the OLED on the unit. It also allows setting an automatic turn-off time; if no voice is detected, it will automatically turn off after 10 to 99 seconds to manage the number of active microphones online, preventing users who forget to turn off their microphones from occupying the open slots. The FUN microphone also supports "temporary speech suspension" mode. As long as the chairman keeps pressing and holding the talk button, all delegate units will be suspended from speaking until the chairman releases the button. This operation is highly intuitive and is commonly used for managing order during live meetings.

Future Development

The system supports TCP/IP communication protocols, allowing BXB to be integrated in the future as needed
