Overview

The Shaanxi Education Informatization Management Center is a unit directly under the Education Department of Shaanxi Provincial Government. It is responsible for organizing, managing, evaluating, and guiding provincial education informatization, ensuring the security of educational network information, conducting educational statistics, providing language and character training, and administering Putonghua proficiency tests. Its subordinate units cover 10 prefecture-level cities, 31 districts, 7 county-level cities, and 69 county-level units.

 

Usage Scenario

As a management center, the customer currently faces two core usage scenarios.

 

Scenario 1: Online course training and tests

The customer, responsible for provincial language training and the Putonghua proficiency test, therefore requires high-quality video and audio transmission that can accommodate multiple participants.

 

Scenario 2: Remote Video Conference

The customer frequently hosts remote meetings of various scales and types, requiring long pickup distances for audio, capability for close-up and panoramic shots, and the ability to eliminate traditional sound amplification devices like handheld microphones.

 

Challenges

  1. Severe reverberation affects the quality of communication

The customer's large conference room (lecture hall) has a high ceiling (9 meters long, 7 meters wide, and 5.2 meters high), smooth flooring, and multiple large screens installed on all sides. The room is relatively enclosed with poor sound insulation, resulting in severe reverberation, necessitating strong voice pickup and amplification equipment.

 

  1. Outdated audio and video equipment cannot meet the requirements for voice pickup and amplification

As a unit directly under the Education Department of Shaanxi Provincial Government, the customer needs to convey important educational policy information and facilitate high-quality voice interactions. The existing equipment cannot meet these demands.

 

  1. The customer hosts many high-level online meetings, requiring high-quality video transmission effects

The customer frequently holds high-level online video conferences for subordinate units and the public. Therefore, they have specific requirements for functions such as camera visual transmission effects, close-up shots of presenters, panoramic shots, etc.

 

  1. The existing cloud conferencing platform is diverse, and the hardware products are complex, requiring high compatibility with new equipment

The customer's conference room terminal adopts a 3x3 LCD splicing screen + TCL flagship TV, paired with a Hiwonder 86-inch conference all-in-one machine, featuring mixed hardware product brands. For online video conferencing, the Education Department of Shaanxi Provincial Government uses the Kedacom conference platform, while classrooms use Tencent Meeting. Considering cost-effectiveness, the customer needs to reuse existing equipment and connect to different cloud conferencing platforms, thus demanding high compatibility for new conference devices.

 

Solutions

The customer's conference room previously had a setup of a 3x3 LCD splicing screen with a TCL flagship TV, along with a Hiwonder 86-inch conference all-in-one machine. To make the most out of the customer’s existing equipment and make it suitable for large conference rooms and lecture halls, Nearity provides a comprehensive solution,

integrating software and hardware to create a one-stop intelligent conference system, bringing the customer a relaxed, intelligent, convenient, and efficient meeting experience.
