The Learning & Teaching Expo is a major annual education expo in the Asia-Pacific region. Due to Hong Kong's geographical location and cultural accumulation, it blends the internationalization of British education with the meticulousness of Chinese education. Therefore, during the exhibition, in addition to educational hardware and software equipment, many educational topics are also focused on forums and seminars, as well as the exchange of the latest trends and solutions. BXB Electronics' Deputy General Manager, Jean-Lin Hung, delivered a speech on smart campus applications at the seminar, providing insights and development directions for smart campus broadcasting, power and energy-saving equipment control, silent visual communication, and safety protection in the Chinese-speaking community.

Sunway, the distributor of BXB Electronics in Hong Kong and Macau, has a 39-year history as a comprehensive educational audio and public address provider. Since its establishment, it has served hundreds of primary and secondary schools, training centers, churches, trade unions, etc., such as HKU GA Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School, the new campus of St. Francis' Canossian College, and Santa Rosa de Lima English Primary School in Macau. Through this Learning & Teaching Expo, BXB and Sunway teamed up to launch BXB's "Digital IP Public Address & Audio-Visual Broadcasting System" to users, system integrators, and schools across Hong Kong and Macau. At the same time, we also introduced the BEDROCK SM50 STIPA speech intelligibility analyzer, for which BXB Electronics is the general agent in Asia, providing a quantifiable measurement tool for the sound reinforcement quality of educational equipment in Chinese-speaking regions.

BXB's "Digital IP-based Public Audio & Video Broadcasting System" supports multiple signal sources, allowing addressable broadcasting to a single classroom or multi-grade groups. During broadcasting, teachers can choose to play audio, video, or silent broadcasts such as images and text, making teaching and examination content richer and more advanced. In particular, the TTS (Text-to-Speech) function automatically converts Chinese and English text into speech output without the need to pre-record audio files, saving labor and time costs. The voice broadcasted by the TTS system offers male and female voice options, and allows adjustments to volume, speed, pitch, and intonation, making it the most highly inquired feature this time! This system features a classroom sound reinforcement set, utilizing a digital Class-D amplifier integrated inside the speaker to achieve environmental protection and energy-saving synergy. It also includes a safety reporting function, becoming an integral part of the smart campus safety net.

Mr. Liao, General Manager of Shinwei Trading, stated: "After the three-day exhibition and prior communications with clients and system integrators, they are interested in the concept of this IP PA system. The buttons on the main control console look better than previous hard keys and feel more comfortable to press. It would be even better if text could have marquee effects or if the background image during text broadcasting could be changed at will." This time, the BXB IP Video PA System proposes a brand-new concept for campus applications, surpassing traditional PA audio and expanding solutions into the video domain. We also rely on distributors, system integrators, and school users to propose more usage requirements to make this system closer to campus habits.

Looking at the Learning & Teaching Expo in Hong Kong, it clearly points to the direction of cloud-based and electronic teaching materials, and the recording and broadcasting market is highly promising! For the success of this exhibition, we are very grateful for the planning of the Sunway Trading team. We believe that under the leadership of General Manager Liao and General Manager Yuen, BXB's digital IP public audio-visual broadcasting system will provide an integrated platform for schools in Hong Kong and Macau, bringing campus AV equipment and security monitoring feedback under unified management, making smart campuses a reality in daily routines.
