The technical exchange seminar co-hosted by BXB Electronics and its China general distributor, Beijing Lichuang Xinye, at the Beijing Vision Hotel on October 19, received an enthusiastic response from clients and was a complete success! In recent years, under the leadership of General Manager Cong Yonggang and his team at Beijing Lichuang, BXB has achieved fruitful results, which has also encouraged BXB to more actively organize promotional activities in the mainland market, creating a mutually beneficial relationship. The theme of this technical exchange seminar was "IP 4K Cloud Audio-Visual Smart Campus Solution," sharing the currently popular concepts of cloud processing and IoT (Internet of Things) and how they can be integrated into smart campus applications, while practically demonstrating BXB's video teaching equipment.

, allowing guests to immediately understand the breadth and depth of BXB's product applications, deepening their impression of and preference for the BXB brand.

This exchange meeting was divided into two sessions. The first session demonstrated the BXB ICP-5100 Multimedia Broadcasting

The solution features four core thematic functions: public address, education, security, and command & emergency response center. Traditional public address systems in the past could only perform one-way audio broadcasting to the entire area, with limited mobility and flexibility, requiring operators to remain in the control room or guardhouse. The BXB ICP-5100 goes beyond traditional PA systems; it not only performs audio broadcasting but also supports information dissemination via video, images, text, and text-to-speech (TTS). The system can integrate emergency intercoms, surveillance equipment, access control systems, classroom preamp panels, and environmental device controls (such as turning TVs and projectors on/off). Furthermore, it collects usage data to monitor hardware usage frequency for evaluation and energy management. Ultimately, this data can be aggregated into big data to serve as R&D resources for next-generation products, realizing a production cycle for AI-driven products.

To allow customers to better understand and experience the BXB ICP-5100 system

To demonstrate its powerful features, BXB Electronics set up 3 projection systems on-site to showcase various campus scenarios. For example, it can simultaneously play the same or different HD 1080P high-definition videos, apply Text-to-Speech (TTS) to language listening tests, and publish text announcements and scrolling marquee messages. The synchronization and zero-latency effects during the simultaneous playback of 1080P high-definition videos amazed the guests and left a deep impression! This multi-channel audio-visual playback function can be applied not only to smart teaching and language listening tests, but also allows teachers to flexibly switch teaching audio-visual sources and share teaching materials wirelessly and paperlessly to students' computers. Furthermore, classroom content can be recorded for flipped classroom applications. In addition, the system utilizes network H.264 streaming technology, allowing teachers to conduct multimedia teaching in a single classroom or stream multimedia to other classrooms for large-scale group teaching, thereby enhancing teaching efficiency.

The second seminar demonstrated the Qcon video conferencing solution

. This solution can solve some problems that still exist in current video conferencing products. Qcon provides each participant with a personal cardioid microphone, which clearly captures the main speaker's voice while preventing ambient noise (such as flipping papers, moving tables and chairs, coughing) from being picked up. It also appropriately isolates private discussions with other participants to protect privacy. Qcon's automatic speaker tracking and close-up features can also completely solve the issues of general PTZ cameras

Using triangulation algorithms to calculate the speaker's position often suffers from reduced video tracking accuracy due to different conference room environments, leading to the problem where most users end up using panorama mode for meetings. When a speaker turns on their microphone, the Qcon camera will precisely track their image and capture a close-up shot. If another person turns on their microphone, the camera will automatically pan to that person's position, allowing every participant to clearly see who is currently speaking.

To make the demonstration of the Qcon video conference more vivid and realistic, a live Skype call was made back to BXB's Taiwan headquarters in Kaohsiung for a remote video call. This demonstrated the effectiveness of combining Qcon conference equipment with Skype communication software for video conferencing. Its clear video and sound quality, paired with the camera auto-tracking function, left a deep impression on the guests. In addition, Jerry Hung, Vice President of BXB Electronics, personally demonstrated the "voice-activated" camera tracking function. Unlike the typical requirement of pressing the microphone talk button to activate tracking mode, the system identifies the speaker and activates the auto-tracking function based on the continuous voice of the speaker.

Qcon not only supports Skype, but users can also initiate video conferences using communication software such as WeChat, QQ, and Hangouts. Take Skype as an example: it allows hosting free video conferences with up to 25 endpoints. Unlike in the past, where Skype required both parties to have dedicated Skype accounts to establish a video connection, thanks to WebRTC, the host now only needs to log in and generate a call web link. By sending this link to participants, they can open the video call directly in a web browser. Free from account limitations and without the need to download extra software, collaboration efficiency is significantly improved. When paired with the BXB Qcon conference system, users can achieve video conferencing effects comparable to international conference halls on a low budget, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

The exchange seminar in Beijing was a great success. BXB is deeply grateful for the assistance and dedication of Beijing Lichuang Xinye, and we sincerely thank all the distinguished guests for their participation. The valuable feedback and encouragement we received serve as the driving force for BXB's continuous progress! BXB looks forward to working hand-in-hand with Beijing Lichuang to co-create and promote the future development of smart campuses.
