Wireless presentation system for standard meeting rooms

ClickShare makes connecting to the meeting room’s video system a matter of clicking a button. This one click wonder not only helps the presenter get the presentation on-screen in a second, but it also allows the other people in the meeting to participate more actively. This is done using the unique ClickShare Button, or by installing a simple app to share content from an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. The result is enhanced meeting efficiency and better decision-making.

Instantly on screen, using any device

A ClickShare CSM-1 set consists of two USB-powered devices (the ‘ClickShare Buttons’) and a Base Unit. The Base Unit has a fixed connection to the meeting room’s visualization system, and takes care of all the needed processing. Users who want to get their presentation on the large meeting room screen, simply connect a Button to their PC or MAC. They start the application, click the ClickShare Button and immediately their desktop is wirelessly transferred to the large visualization system. Alternatively, when using a smartphone or tablet (either iOS or Android-powered), a simple app allows you to share content as well.

A new meeting dynamic

ClickShare changes the way you meet. Instead of focusing on one presenter, ClickShare encourages all attendees to participate. By showing visual content on the large meeting room screen, it becomes easier for everybody to prove their point. The system’s stability and ease-of-use, also drastically limits the number of needed interventions by the IT department.

The Power of Wireless Collaboration Presentation System

Get everyone involved in the meeting

ClickShare is Barco’s wireless presentation system and collaboration system, that allows any meeting participant to share content on the central meeting room screen.

An unmatched user experience

At the click of a button, the content of your laptop, tablet or smartphone is displayed on the large screen. The result is that all participants are involved more intensely in the decision-making process. Coupling extreme simplicity with an unmatched user experience, everybody who has used ClickShare is immediately hooked.

Two flavors of ClickShare

In order to perfectly answer your needs, ClickShare comes in two flavors: the CSM Base Unit (for standard meeting rooms) and the full-featured CSC Base Unit (optimized for high-profile meeting rooms, boardrooms and conference rooms). In this way, you choose exactly the system you need. The table underneath shows the main features of the two base units.

ClickShare boosts collaboration in the classroom at the Charter School of San Diego

Unlocking human potential
For more than 20 years, The Charter School of San Diego has been working to change the way students learn, employing innovative techniques and resources to meet the individualized learning needs of at-risk children.
“Our students come from all walks of life, with many several grade levels behind in basic math and language skills. It is critical that we find new ways to engage them with different tools than they were exposed to at their traditional schools,” said Tiffany Yandell, Operations Coordinator for CSSD. One solution that has made a difference is Barco ClickShare, a wireless presentation and collaboration system. “ClickShare is helping bring classroom instruction to life with real-time visuals that reinforce concepts and encourage students to participate in lessons.”

A powerful technology integration tool
ClickShare fits with the school’s model to infuse the curriculum with appropriate technology-based activities and assignments that facilitate learning. With 22 workstations, including dozens of computers, iPads, and other devices, CSSD needed a way to bring all of the technologies together in a cohesive, collaborative way to facilitate instruction and communication.

Offering a unique knowledge-sharing experience, ClickShare allows users to present their content from a laptop, tablet or smartphone on the main classroom or meeting room display with one click. Up to four users simultaneously can project a document(s), an internet browser, or a video to enrich the discussion. At CSSD, instructors are using ClickShare to integrate a PowerPoint with notes, annotate a picture, and pull in a web browser, all at once, to reinforce concepts.

Everyone loves ClickShare
ClickShare makes learning ‘live’ and more interactive, so teachers can immediately address questions or students can help each other. It also allows students to easily share ideas and collaborate in new ways, expressing themselves like never before. “ClickShare has really helped create a more inclusive educational experience, and for these kids, that is what it’s all about.”

“ClickShare is the perfect solution for dynamic collaboration in many environments, with education being a shining example,” comments Patrick Lee, Vice President Entertainment and Corporate for Barco North America. “The engagement and empowerment the Charter School of San Diego is experiencing with ClickShare is great to see, and echoes the sentiment expressed by many other institutions making it part of their instructional technology plans.”

The perfect Barco showroom? You’ll find it in Bogotá

Excitingly trendy, stylish and high-tech: that is the first impression you get when entering the showroom that Barco set up in its Colombia office. As trusted partners in state-of-the-art control room projects in Spain and Latin America, Barco and system integrator Gesab decided to take their partnership a step higher still and equip the Barco showroom together. As you can see in the pictures, the end result is definitely worth a visit!

Best of both worlds 
Located in Colombia’s capital Bogotá, the corporate showroom exhibits the best of both worlds: Barco’s high-tech visualization solutions as well as the technical consoles and control room furniture made by Gesab. “As our showroom is frequently visited by customers and end-users, we installed our very best solutions like a 3×2 LED-lit video wall, a 2×2 OBLX freestanding system, an F32 projector, our networked visualization solution and the ClickShare wireless presentation systems,” said Manuel Navarrete, Barco Colombia Sales Manager. Sleek and good-looking, the solutions seamlessly blend into the showroom with smartly designed Gesab desks, chairs and consoles.

Control rooms need not be boring! 
“This is a special place where you can see, touch and feel the emotions that provoke work environments with this attention to detail, with clean lines, a minimalist look with high-quality materials and a unique design that delivers distinct added value,” added Francisco Fandiño, General Manager of Barco Colombia. They’ve definitely convinced us: control rooms need not be boring!

Barco goes 3D at Petrotech 2014

From 12 through 15 January, professionals from India’s growing oil and gas industry assembled in the India Exposition Mart in Greater Noida for the Petrotech international oil and gas conference and exhibition. Here, Barco presented its latest innovations, including a 3D video wall, ClickShare, and the projectiondesign F35 AS3D 3D projector. In addition, Barco partner Schlumberger—a system integrator for the oil and gas industry and a Petrotech crystal sponsor—displayed its latest sector solutions on a Barco MVL-621 video wall.

Drilling for opportunities 
For the eleventh year straight, Petrotech acquainted professionals in India’s growing oil and gas industry with the latest tools and solutions to both overcome the sector’s most pressing challenges and seize every possible opportunity. Technology can play a key role in both objectives. “Over the years, Barco’s appearance at Petrotech has become a tradition,” says Abel Garamhegyi, managing director at Barco India. “This year, we are happy to showcase our latest collaboration 3D technology: stereographic cubes that help the oil industry make wiser, more effective, and more cost-effective decisions.”

At this year’s edition, Barco presented a range of products designed to help professionals work more efficiently. For the very first time, Petrotech visitors experienced our 3D video wall solution, as well as the unique features of the projectiondesign F35 AS3D projector. These features include the display of fully uncompressed 3D images with the highest amount of detail at an affordable price. With these solutions, Barco is proving once more that 3D technology can play a large role in facilitating both oil and gas exploration and the management of existing wells.

Slick collaboration 
The ClickShare presentation tool, developed to foster collaboration in the meeting room, was also demonstrated. Visitors experienced its intuitive, wireless interface for themselves and discovered why so many companies are adopting the system to make their meetings more productive and enjoyable. And while we’re talking collaboration: Schlumberger—a leading technological supplier and system integrator in the industry—used Barco’s OverView MVL-621 video wall to display its products under the best possible conditions.
