"APEC Women-led Startups Accelerator Workshop". Due to pandemic prevention considerations, the entire event was conducted via video conference and simultaneously broadcast live online

, allowing women's voices to be heard by the whole world.

Meanwhile, BXB Chairwoman Wu Pei-jung was also the runner-up of the 6th Women Entrepreneurship Elite Award

winner, values the working environment and career development of female employees in the workplace, and is glad to provide support and share experiences in lectures and activities related to female entrepreneurship. Therefore, BXB is honored to plan the usage scenarios and provide suitable digital equipment for this event, helping participants from both sides learn from and support each other.

Let's see how a successful live video streaming event can be planned: Scenario 1

This event is mainly divided into live streaming and video conferencing, which must be conducted simultaneously. The host, lecturers, and workshop participants in the main venue need to interact via video with lecturers and participants in Indonesia.

The perfect combination of cameras and personal microphones: installing one PTZ camera at the front and one at the back of the venue.

, the front camera captures the students in the audience, while the rear camera captures the host and lecturer at the front, simultaneously capturing close-up shots of both sides to engage the audience. Each participant's seat is equipped with a desktop microphone; they can speak simply by pressing the talk button, eliminating the labor and time wasted in passing wireless microphones around.

Seamless screen switching, clear presentation of visualized information

The two projection screens on the stage can be switched to different video sources at any time according to on-site needs, such as: presentation screens, host screens, student screens, remote screens, etc. As shown in the figure below, the audience can clearly see both the remote speaker and their presentation materials at the same time.

Monitoring screens effectively grasp the meeting scene, lending a helping hand to the host

The hosts and lecturers in the front stage area have their backs to the projection screen and cannot see the presentation slides or remote video screens. Therefore, we planned monitoring screens to be placed in front of them, synchronizing information and allowing them to effectively manage the meeting scene, keeping communication smooth.

Multi-layout screen presentation, showcasing diverse and professional-grade live streaming

The live stream screen can present different layouts according to current usage needs, such as full screen, dual-split, quad-split, picture-in-picture, etc., breaking the monotony of traditional live streams that could only display a single layout.

Personalize live stream backgrounds and overlay information assets such as event logos, lower thirds, and speaker nameplates.

Through the WebGUI control interface, you can freely change the background, LOGO, event name, and lower thirds of the live broadcast layout, shaping a better brand image while delivering information. As shown in the figure below, the name cards for each lecturer can be prepared in advance and replaced during the live broadcast according to the different lecturers in each event agenda, allowing every participant to get to know the lecturer as quickly as possible and clearly identify who is currently speaking.

Scenario 2

Local and remote speakers deliver presentations, followed by a Q&A session after the presentations.

Easily transfer presentation control to remote speakers, switching presentations without missing a beat

The local side has a dedicated person controlling the switching and playback of all presentations for the event. However, when a remote lecturer is speaking, the control of the presentation can be transferred to the speaker, allowing them to deliver the speech at their own pace.

Leave questions at any time to enhance the immediacy and convenience of interaction

Using the Slido tool for Q&A sessions can effectively increase the willingness to ask questions and enhance interactivity. By simply scanning the QR code, participants can leave questions online at any time, either named or anonymously, during the instructor's presentation, allowing shyer and more introverted participants to ask questions boldly. During the Q&A, the screen can be switched to PBP (Picture-by-Picture) mode to display the question list and the speaker's feed side-by-side. This clear layout allows participants to see the speaker's facial expressions while answering, making the experience as authentic as a face-to-face Q&A.

Scenario 3

The venue also planned three other conference rooms as virtual breakout rooms, allowing on-site trainees to conduct project group discussions and interactions with local trainees in Indonesia.

With video conferencing equipment compatible with major video software, meetings can be started according to user habits. Each of the three conference rooms is equipped with a set of video conferencing equipment: conference microphones, USB cameras, control software, etc. The cardioid directional design of the conference microphones picks up vocals only from directly in front, preventing other background noises from being captured and ensuring that participants' speeches are clearly audible. Featuring simple and user-friendly operation, instructors and students can easily hold meetings using mainstream video software such as ZOOM or Skype.

On the final day of the event, student project presentations were held in the main venue

Make presentations right from your seat; paired with video tracking, there's no need to worry about hearing a voice without seeing the person

Two cameras are planned: one lens is aimed at the presenting participant, with the front screen simultaneously displaying the presentation and the presenter's image. The presenter does not need to walk to the front stage area and can simply present from their seat using a wireless presenter. The other camera is aimed at the host; during the commentary period, the screen can be switched to the host's position.

Participants of this event came from diverse fields, including representatives from various Asia-Pacific economies such as Indonesia and Taiwan, civil societies, industry-government-academia sectors, startups, and industry professionals, with a total of 200 online and physical participations. Through BXB Electronics' live streaming and video conferencing solutions, instructors and participants shared and discussed their resources and experiences in a transnational yet synchronized manner. BXB Electronics will continue to utilize digital technology to help more enterprises and organizations conduct highly efficient and high-quality business communication.
