The Situation
Since the introduction of multimedia projectors and laptops about two decades ago and till recent past, only
one interface ruled the AV world - VGA. All the customers, users, AV consultants, AV dealers and installers
had to contend with VGA and all meeting room installations were designed accordingly.
The Challenge
In the last couple of years Digital devices have started overtaking Analog devices. However, the process of
digital development being pursued by various independent companies has led to a large number of different
interfaces on the laptops. The latest generation laptops now sport HDMI, Display Port, mini HDMI,
Thunderbolt etc...
VGA interface is still around. Apple MAC book has become very popular. The"Analog Sunset and Digital
Sunrise" is showing its effects.
Apart from Laptops, iPad has become the device of convenience / choice and many users feel comfortable in
using it for their pre sentations. A new user trend BYOD has emerged.
This has led to one of the biggest challenge ever faced by AV industry:
How to provide a solution to already existing meeting rooms?
How to design and implement new meeting rooms with an eye on ever evolving technology?
The Conventional solution
As of now, the only solution available to the AV installer is to provide a large number of cable cubbies with
VGA / HDMI / DP and other interfaces with their corresponding audio on the meeting rooms table, run a large
number of wires to the multi interface switcher / multiple switchers, create a complex switching program on
the control system and pray for everything to run smoothly.
The iPads & iPhones still remain unaddressed. The concern of a new type of interface on a newly introduced
laptop still remains.
The Expense
2. The estimated cost of providing 4 cable cubbies with the above solution is as yet undetermined as no
comprehensive wired solution has emerged. Apart from cost, it involves multiple interactions with end user,
Interior decorator, Architect, Furniture maker etc...
The jungle of cables and interfaces travelling from the meeting room table to the equipment rack is a
nightmare both during the installation and in the fault diagnosis and rectification phase.
The man hours involved, from design to implementation of the solution, are immense.
The Limitations
Even after the implementation of the above solution, the introduction of new kind of interface in the future
laptops cannot be foreseen!
The switching of signals from one to another laptop is an issue!
Many a times, a laptop even when it is switched, does not appear on the display as its Hot Pin is not activated.
This calls intervention by pressing Fn buttons which differ from laptop to laptop!
iPads & iPhones still remain unconnected!
The Bottlenecks
For most existing facilities, the implementation of the above solution is not feasible as this involves major
renovation work in the conference room which is practically not possible due to major costs and long meeting
room downtime.
Even in new and upcoming facilities, the challenges of furniture design and cable routing, approvals from
multiple agencies like architects, users, interior designers, furniture maker etc... take the most time to address.
Final Boardroom table design is a compromise between aesthetics & functionality.
The Concern
Non implementation of the solution is a concern both for the end user as well as the solution provider.
The end user continues to live with the existing situation and looses productivity.
The solution provider looses on potential business and has to contend with customer dissatisfaction.
The Solution
BARCO's ClickShare offers the best solution to all the above issues and can be implemented in any meeting
room. The average time taken for installation is under an Hour and does not need any cost on renovation.
Additional advantages of ClickShare

additional powerful advantages at no extra cost:
