Barco is expected to unveil the latest additions to its ClickShare portfolio and product line. ClickShare Conference will focus on wireless conferencing.
The ClickShare Conference range consists of three different models: the entry-level CX-20, the CX-30 and the high-end CX-50. The CX-20 is suited for huddles and small meeting rooms, offering the functionalities of wireless collaboration and conferencing. The CX-30, fits standard meeting rooms and adds a set of interactivity features such as touch back support, moderation, blackboarding and annotation. The high-end CX-50 is meant for large meeting rooms and boardrooms and brings a premium AV collaboration experience with superior audio and video quality and offers the best possibilities to integrate into your IT or AV environment.
ClickShare Conference aims to combine the power of unified communication tools with the simplicity of a wireless collaboration solution.
The solution is meant to be process agnostic. Users will be able to decide how they collaborate securely, what device they want to use, in any meeting space while they have access to the usual benefits of the UC or videoconferencing tool of their choice along with any AV USB-peripherals available in the room.
The ClickShare Conferencing Button makes meeting room USB-peripherals available to your laptop. Plugging in the Button will allow users to receive all the video and audio streams on your own laptop.
Features have also been added to the ClickShare Collaboration App, twhich can be accessed while using the Button, accessible via the additional Quick Button. With the ClickShare Collaboration App you can connect to the meeting room via to presence detection from your laptop or mobile device and have immediate access to wireless presenting, interactive sharing and feature-rich collaboration.
Marc Remond, vice president of sales, meeting and learning experience solutions at Barco APAC, said: “As more and more organisations embrace new ways of working in the Asia Pacific region, the demand for remote collaboration solutions is exploding. While software and cloud-based conferencing solutions have made it easier and more affordable to join virtual meetings from anywhere using any device, there are still many unsolved issues related to team meeting experience in various work-spaces.”
He added: “Barco aims to simplify the experience and increase the adoption of video meetings across spaces with the launch of a differentiated meeting room solution that is agnostic by design. Introducing the concept of ‘Bring Your Own Meeting’, the new ClickShare Conference portfolio enables IT and AV teams to support any conferencing, communication and streaming tool in the market and offers an improved meeting experience to all participants, both local and remote.”
