Barco

The Barco ClickShare C-10 is a wireless presentation system that lets people share a laptop, phone or tablet screen to a meeting-room display without cables. A base unit connects to the display over HDMI and outputs 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) at 30 Hz.

Users share with one press on a ClickShare Button, through the ClickShare App, or from phones and tablets with AirPlay or Google Cast. Up to 2 sources can appear on screen at the same time.

No. The ClickShare C-10 shares screen content to the display, but Barco lists no Room Dock peripheral support, so a laptop cannot use the room's camera, microphones or speakers through it.

For wireless access to room cameras and audio, Barco offers its ClickShare CX conferencing range, and room systems in Video Conferencing Kits handle calls directly. The C-10 can sit alongside those systems for content sharing.

The ClickShare C-10 is for wireless presentation, while Barco positions the ClickShare CX-20 and CX-30 as wireless conferencing systems for small and medium meeting rooms. The practical difference is peripheral access: the C-10 has no Room Dock support for room cameras and microphones.

Choose the C-10 when the room needs fast screen sharing, and a conferencing model when laptops must also run video calls through the room's camera and audio.

Either works. The ClickShare Button plugs into a Windows or Mac laptop and starts sharing with one press, with nothing to install, which suits guests. The ClickShare App runs on Windows 10 or later, macOS 11 or later, Android 9 or later and iOS 12 or later.

The ClickShare C-10 Gen2 is sold with one or two Buttons, and further users can join through the app or AirPlay and Google Cast, up to 2 sources on screen.

Yes, on most phones and tablets. The ClickShare C-10 supports AirPlay for Apple devices and Google Cast for Android and Chrome devices, so guests can share without installing the ClickShare App. Barco notes that Miracast support depends on configuration and firmware.

Guests still need to reach the C-10 over the network chosen by IT, so check the guest access arrangement before the meeting.

The ClickShare C-10 connects to the display with HDMI 1.4b, and the Gen2 can also use USB-C with DisplayPort 1.2. It outputs 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) at 30 Hz and sends audio over HDMI.

Plan a free input on the room display and set the display to that input, so shared content appears as soon as someone presses the Button.

The ClickShare C-10 has 1 Gbit Ethernet and Wi-Fi to IEEE 802.11 a/g/n/ac on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and the Button works up to 30 m (100 ft) from the base unit. In standalone mode it uses WPA2-PSK.

In network integration mode the ClickShare Button can authenticate with WPA2-PSK or IEEE 802.1X, which most corporate IT teams prefer. Agree the mode with IT before installation.

The ClickShare C-10 shows up to 2 sources on screen at the same time, so two people can present side by side for comparison. Any number of users can take turns.

With a touch display connected, the C-10 adds touchback, annotation and blackboarding on a 4K canvas, so presenters can mark up shared content or write on a blank board.

The ClickShare C-10 is managed through Barco XMS Cloud, which lets IT monitor devices, update firmware and act on notifications across many rooms. The base unit draws 5 W to 10 W in operation and 24 W at most.

Barco gives 1 year of warranty as standard, extended to 5 years when the device is registered with Barco SmartCare.

Before installing a ClickShare C-10, prepare a free HDMI input (or USB-C with DisplayPort 1.2 on the Gen2) on the room display, a power outlet, and a LAN port if the unit joins the corporate network.

Agree with IT whether it will run in standalone or network integration mode, including 802.1X if required, and decide how many ClickShare Buttons the room needs. The base unit is rated for 0 °C to 40 °C.
