'Unbeeindruckt' (unimpressed) is very often combined with verbs like 'bleiben' (to remain), 'wirken' (to seem), 'scheinen' (to appear), or 'sich zeigen' (to show oneself / appear) to describe a state or impression.

'ruhig' and 'unbeeindruckt' can both describe someone who does not seem nervous or excited. 'ruhig' is more general: a person can be calm because they are relaxed or because they control their emotions well. 'unbeeindruckt' is used especially when something could actually cause a reaction, but the person does not show one. So it emphasizes: something happens, but the person does not let it bother them.
