Barco's new collaboration box, the XDS-100 enables quick and efficient decision-making in the meeting room by allowing users to display, drag and resize several sources on-screen simultaneously. These sources can be connected physically or pulled from the network, and even include other desktop computers. Because XDS works in a Windows interface, there is no need to learn new user protocols, and all operations happen with mouse and keyboard.
"We find that not just the biggest companies benefit from this technology. Collaborating in real-time with everything on screen at the same time, instead of switching and performing unnecessary busywork to get your equipment to work, is a huge time-saver," says Yoav Nir, market director for Barco.
"Today, users can in fact enjoy switching, videoconferencing, picture-in-picture and remote collaboration functionalities through a combination of several peripherals and a few dedicated software packages, but XDS-100 can do this in just one box, with less cabling, less risk and less stress. In return, they get an environment that fosters better decision-making and more business productivity."
