Backstage: a new platform, a new technology

One place for the whole event

In March 2026, one of the milestones in our story, we launched a new platform and new technology. The platform is Backstage: it is where Live is managed, whether the client runs its own events or prefers to leave them in the hands of Link3rs.

Four modes, and one more on the way

The mode is chosen when each room is created:

• Captions: subtitles on the room’s screen, up to four languages at once from a single microphone.
• Conditionals: for bilingual panels. A language pair is declared and, if the speaker switches from one to the other, the subtitle follows without anyone touching a thing.
• Speech to Speech: a translated voice and one channel per language, in each attendee’s headphones.
• Mixer: for rooms with a sound desk. Each output has its own path: translated or untouched, towards the production desk, the audience or both.
• Slides, coming soon: the script as translated slides, which an agent moves on while it listens to the room.

From zero to on air in four steps

First the event; then the room type, the microphone and the Start button. Before the audience comes in, Crosscheck tests the connection, the latency, the mic and the wifi, with time to fix whatever fails. The whole console fits on a phone: the operator can walk around the room and switch languages from there.

With Knowledge, every talk arrives prepared: the speaker, their company and their vocabulary sit in a glossary of its own, used by the subtitles, the interpretation and the summary.

Prepare it and forget about it

Backstage starts when someone begins to speak and pauses when the room goes quiet. If the audience screen stops receiving text, it rebuilds the connection without anyone stepping in. Every language runs at the same time: switching is immediate.

When Stop is pressed

The event is split into talks, with chapters, summaries and ideas. Before anything is published, every quote is looked up in the transcript, and at the end there is a delivery certificate for every channel and every language.

Organised in levels

Everything hangs from four levels: Organization › Space › Event › Room. The audience needs no account: they join with their room’s code and follow the session with Speech on their phone, or read it on the screens with Captions. All of it, in detail, on Backstage.
