Nice. Your problem today is have a solution like to use OPSIS hardware to get 
the image from the speaker's notebook.
We are talking with the staff from TV at University to help us with cameras, 
server, and other equipaments. They have used a solution with OBS Studio + 
Nginx.

Yes, we will definitely use flight-case racks using professionally
constructed flight-cases. GatorCases are good, I've used them before.

We are going with Turbot boards for capture, so there's no need for a
capture laptop. The issue with half-width is the mic receiver, but if
you know of a 4 channel (total) receiver(s) that is legal in all ITU
regions, please let us know.

I do like the idea of a half-rack case. The problem is the mic receiver.
We chose the Shure AD4Q specifically because it is usable in all ITU
regions (at least going by the webpage). It, however, is a full 1U in
width. If you know of another wireless receiver capable of 4 channels in
total that can fit and is valid in all regions, please let me know, as a
half-rack would be much better in front.

The usage here tends to shift, depending on the context, but it would be
more accurate to call this a stage box
