Barco ClickShare Conference systems are not peripheral technology in control rooms and dispatch centres. They help decide whether operators see information reliably, operate systems stably and whether technical installations remain maintainable in 24/7 operation. controlrooms GmbH plans, integrates and supports these components as part of a complete control room architecture.
Wireless collaboration without control room chaos
Meeting rooms, situation centres and control rooms today need fast, secure and simple collaboration. Barco ClickShare Conference enables wireless presentation and video conferencing integration without operators, technicians or external participants having to work out cables, adapters or room technology every time.
In mission-critical environments, however, convenience is not the only thing that counts. ClickShare must fit the IT security policy, the media technology and the operating concept. controlrooms integrates such systems so that collaboration becomes possible without diluting the control room architecture.
Where ClickShare makes sense
ClickShare Conference is particularly suitable for meeting rooms at control centres, crisis teams, training rooms, technical rooms and management areas that need to share content quickly. Combined with a video wall, monitoring, Barco CMS, Barco CTRL or classic AV components, this creates a clean handover between meeting and operation.
Clear separation is important: the operational control room remains stable and protected, while meetings and collaboration become flexible. controlrooms plans this boundary deliberately so that collaboration does not become a security gap.
What owners should look out for
- Wireless presenting and video conferencing integration
- Integration into control, situation and meeting rooms
- Alignment with IT security and network requirements
- Combination with Barco visualisation and control room technology
- Service, training and long-term support
controlrooms as system integrator
The practical difference lies in responsibility. Individual components can be procured quickly; a control room, however, has to work as a system. controlrooms combines visualisation, KVM, room, furniture, ergonomics, IT security, service and maintenance into one solution that holds up in operation.
For owners this means fewer interfaces, clear contacts, traceable technical decisions and an architecture that can be extended later. This is exactly where control room technology parts ways with a standard AV installation.

Frequently asked questions about Barco ClickShare Conference
Is ClickShare suitable for control rooms?
Yes, if it is planned properly. ClickShare usually belongs in meeting, situation or training areas and must be cleanly separated from critical operational systems.
Can ClickShare be combined with video walls?
Yes. Content can be integrated into a Barco visualisation environment if signal paths, operating concept and security requirements are planned properly.
What role does IT security play?
A central one. Wireless collaboration must not create an uncontrolled bridge into critical systems. controlrooms plans network, permissions and usage scenarios together.
Does controlrooms handle the integration?
Yes. controlrooms plans, integrates and supports ClickShare in the context of control rooms, meeting rooms and control room technology.
