ClickShare's new dual display functionality may well be the most exciting of the new features: when two displays are connected to the ClickShare Base Unit, the latter will automatically activate 'Dual display mode' and show the content on both screens. This is especially useful for businesses with a video conferencing system: when they don't use the video conferencing mode, they can now present information (PowerPoint, MS-Excel spreadsheet, etc.) on two screens. On top of this dual display functionality, two more features that had been announced at ClickShare's official launch will soon be available: ClickShare's full compatibility with an iPad - via Apple TV or HDMI to DVI video cable - and audio.
The new iPad compatibility, audio and dual display functionality will certainly add to the intuitiveness of ClickShare, while further raising meeting productivity. In this way, it fits into the ClickShare concept: ClickShare was developed after many years' research, with ease-of-use and meeting productivity in mind. Extensive testing between April and August last had confirmed that the product smoothly meets these promises: all users were duly impressed with the system's easy set-up and operation and confirmed that ClickShare introduces a whole new way of meeting.
"ClickShare's current success around the world confirms that we made the right choices," said Yoav Nir, business development manager collaboration. "I am very happy that we have been able to keep our promise of integrating audio and offering iPad compatibility by early 2013 and even complement these features with dual display functionality. From conversations I've had with users, I know they will welcome these new features. And we will, of course, keep developing new functionality to further raise meeting productivity."
