About ClickShare Link
The ClickShare Link offers the possibility to connect an iPad to the ClickShare system. When used, the iPad behaves like an additional laptop.
Present from your iPad
iPads are becoming increasingly important as mobile meeting room devices, as they are small and extremely easy to use. The ClickShare Link allows users to get the content from the iPad touchscreen to the large meeting room screen. There are no limitations to the content to be displayed: what you see on the iPad screen is shown "as is". However, note that the ClickShare Link only streams video, so sound is not supported.
Two connection options
The ClickShare Link is to be attached to the (rear) USB port of the ClickShare Base Unit. Connection with the iPad occurs using a video cable, or wireless via Apple TV (not included in the package).
