Best AI-Powered Video Conference Camera: Video Bar Insta360 Connect is Here to Upgrade Your Hybrid Meetings

LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — With remote and hybrid work rapidly becoming the new normal, high-quality video conferencing tools are essential for any workplace. Enter Insta360 Connect, a dual-4K AI video bar that eliminates the grainy visuals, awkward angles, and poor audio that so often dominate online meetings, instead delivering crystal-clear image quality and seamless communication for both in-room and remote participants.

Insta360 Connect's 8K Gallery Mode displays up to eight participants in individual windows.
Insta360 Connect’s 8K Gallery Mode displays up to eight participants in individual windows.

Drawing on Insta360’s expertise in imaging and audio technology and following the success of the Insta360 Link webcam series, Connect aims to redefine hybrid meetings. The sleek video bar directly connects to your device via USB-C or wirelessly and acts as your camera, microphone, and speaker. It works with all major platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet.

Advanced Imaging, Unmatched Visuals

Insta360 Connect boasts dual 4K cameras—a wide-angle camera with a 1/1.3″ CMOS sensor and a telephoto gimbal camera. Working seamlessly together, they ensure clear, detailed visuals for both group views and individual close-ups, so no one is left out or lost due to blurry image quality. AI Resolution+ enhances clarity and improves color accuracy with machine-learning algorithms, highlighting the speaker in double resolution for faster identification. Blending cutting-edge hardware with innovative AI algorithms, Connect provides remote participants with interactions that feel like the real thing.

Superior Audio

An industry-leading 14-microphone array captures voices up to 33 feet away, and a 3A audio algorithm eliminates reverb and echoing, ensuring everyone can be heard clearly, no matter their distance from the device. Unlike built-in computer microphones that struggle to filter out background noise, Connect’s adaptive audio system analyzes and adjusts to the environment in real-time, muting distractions like typing or air conditioning.

“Insta360 Connect does a great job of picking up audio from near the speaker and across the room…with noise reduction technology. Audio was also clear on the other end of the calls… The single 25W speaker was loud and clear in our medium-sized conference room, even at 50% volume.”

-Abcom Distribution

Intelligent Features for Seamless Collaboration

Connect offers several advanced features to improve meeting dynamics, including 8K Gallery Mode, which displays up to eight participants in individual windows, and Group Framing, which automatically adjusts the view to present all participants for balanced, inclusive meetings.

Advanced Speaker Tracking follows the speaker as they move around the room, ideal for presentations and online classes. While regular cameras can only identify the general direction of the speaker, Connect creates individual profiles through intelligent voiceprint, and face, body, and lip recognition technologies, ensuring they always remain center stage.

Additionally, Connect includes:

  • Multi-Person Tracking for seamless transitions between participants.
  • Whiteboard Mode for clear visibility during lessons and brainstorms, even if the whiteboard is blocked from view.
  • Speakerphone Mode for professional audio via Bluetooth.
  • Privacy Mode that instantly conceals the lens and mutes the microphone.

Available Now

Basic audio and visuals have made hybrid meetings unbearable for too long. For flawless communication, Insta360 Connect is available today from the Insta360 Official Store and trusted retailers such as Amazon, starting from US$1,999.

China Renaissance Announces 2024 Annual Results: Strong Recovery Driven by Strategic Transformation

HONG KONG, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — China Renaissance Holdings Limited (“China Renaissance” or the “Group”, stock code: 1911.HK) today announced its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Reporting Period”). Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment and a prolonged capital market downturn, the Group remained steadfast in its strategic direction, leveraging core business strengths. Through asset optimization, business transformation, and a focus on technology, China Renaissance achieved a significant rebound in operating performance. Total revenue and net investment gains were RMB 840 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a year-on-year increase of 5.2%. Loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company narrowed to RMB 180 million, a decrease of 62.1% compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, the Group successfully repaid all external debt and maintained ample cash reserves, providing a solid financial foundation to support its future diversification strategy.

In October 2024, Ms. Hui Yin Ching was appointed Chairperson of the Board, leading China Renaissance’s new management team on its “Renaissance 2.0” journey. Following the leadership reshuffle, the core team remained stable, the company’s governance framework was further strengthened, and the organizational structure was optimized. This resulted in significantly improved strategic execution efficiency. Since the fourth quarter of 2024, the Group’s revenue and operating profit have increased substantially compared to the first three quarters, with fourth-quarter total revenue accounting for 46% of the full-year revenue.

Investment Banking Achieves Counter-Cyclical Growth, Maintaining Market Leadership in Emerging Sectors

In 2024, China Renaissance’s investment banking business recorded segment revenue and net investment gains of RMB 220 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.8%. The core growth drivers were the expansion of private placement advisory fees and breakthroughs in equity underwriting.

China Renaissance has maintained a leading position in private equity financing, with a strong presence in the broader technology sector. The Group has actively expanded into emerging fields such as embodied intelligence, low-altitude economy, advanced manufacturing, and hard technology, securing a dominant position in the AGI sector. During the reporting period, the Group successfully completed projects including Zhipu, ROBOTERA, Shengshu Technology, Fourier, and Galaxea. Amid a sluggish IPO market in Hong Kong SAR and the U.S., China Renaissance Investment Banking proactively diversified its capital market product offerings, helping clients complete listings or financing deals despite the challenging environment. Revenue from the Hong Kong SAR and U.S. equity businesses more than doubled year-on-year. During the reporting period, the Group acted as a joint sponsor for the Hong Kong IPO of RoboSense, a flagship project showcasing the synergy between China Renaissance and investment banks. The Group’s M&A business also advanced in parallel with its investment banking operations, completing several landmark industry acquisition deals.

Investment Management Seizes Exit Opportunities and Drives New Fundraising Initiatives

During the reporting period, China Renaissance’s investment management business achieved a significant breakthrough, recording an operating profit of RMB 126 million and contributing 38% of the Group’s total revenue. In 2024, China Renaissance New Economy Fund was also recognized as an A-Class Fund Manager by the Insurance Asset Management Association of China.

By seizing market exit opportunities, China Renaissance actively advanced project exits and post-investment management, with total fund exit proceeds reaching RMB 3.2 billion. As exits continued, the fund’s Distributions to Paid-in Capital (DPI) further improved. As of now, six out of ten flagship funds, along with several project funds, have achieved a DPI of over 100%. In 2023 and 2024, portfolio companies including Fenbi, Smarter Micro, RoboSense, and Autostreets successfully went public, demonstrating the high quality of China Renaissance’s investment portfolio, which focuses on smart industries and innovative economy sectors. The Group also actively explored non-IPO exit strategies, further expanding its investment footprint. On the fundraising front, China Renaissance maintained strong relationships with Limited Partners (LPs) and steadily advanced new fund fundraising initiatives.

China Renaissance Securities Achieves Significant Efficiency Gains with Strong Retail Growth

During the reporting period, China Renaissance Securities maintained steady operations, recording segment revenue and net investment gains of RMB 250 million, accounting for 30% of the Group’s total revenue and net investment gains.

The Huaxing Duoduojin App, the Group’s flagship retail platform, saw 390 thousand registered users, marking a 95% increase from the end of 2023. The number of new clients grew rapidly, rising by 208% year-on-year, while total client assets increased by 146% compared to the end of 2023. Despite a tightening market environment, China Renaissance Securities continued to strengthen its industry position by driving several leading hard technology projects, providing consistent financing services to “Specialized, Refined, Differentiated, and Innovative” (SRDI) enterprises. During the reporting period, China Renaissance Securities successfully completed projects including Wanchen Group’s private placement, Golden Phoenix’s NEEQ listing, and private equity financing for Calterah Semiconductor and Kunlunxin.

Hui Yin Ching, Chairperson of the Board of China Renaissance, commented: “2024 marked the first year of China Renaissance’s deep strategic realignment. By focusing on three key pillars- technology enablement, business matrix restructuring, and organizational efficiency enhancement- we have established a foundation for sustainable growth in financial health, client quality, and innovation reserves. Currently, our investment banking business maintains a leading edge in the innovation economy, while our investment management business continues to break through with its profitable model. The synergistic effect of China Renaissance Securities’ diversified business matrix has further strengthened our differentiated competitive advantage. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on the ‘Technology + Industry’ strategy, deepening our presence in the AGI and embodied intelligence sectors, while expanding our M&A and cross-border business. While consolidating our existing businesses, we will actively explore the Web 3.0 and cryptocurrency asset sectors to lead the development of innovative technologies. At the same time, we will continue to enhance post-investment management and risk control, improving asset operation efficiency. With a solid financial structure, innovative business models, and professional service capabilities, the Group is committed to seizing market opportunities and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Wanhua Chmeical and IBU-tec signed a Joint Development Agreement for the development of a European LFP battery material, creating the basis for a European value chain in the battery sector

Within the framework of the partnership, IBU-tec and Wanhua Chemical will carry out a scale-up towards the industrial scale in the coming months. The partners expect to have reliable results in the third quarter of the current year as to whether the joint development will meet market requirements in Europe and North America.

In this cooperation, the company will establish a local supply chain to supply LFP materials to European customers.

Wanhua Chemical adheres to the globalization strategy and has set up 7 R&D centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Hungary, Spain, etc., 9 production bases and more than 10 overseas sales organizations, and IBU-tec, as a local German Li-ion material factory, focuses on the R&D and production of LFP, and owns a mature R&D and production system.
