• By Projex Display

Barco makes three tiers of ClickShare wireless presentation systems. Picking the wrong one means paying for features you don't need — or buying a system that can't handle your meeting room demands. Here is the exact difference between the C-10, CX-30, and CX-50.

Quick Answer

• C-10 Gen2 → Screen sharing only. Best for small conference rooms needing simple wireless presentation.
• CX-30 Gen2 → Screen sharing + video conferencing integration. Best for standard meeting rooms with a dedicated video bar.
• CX-50 → Full enterprise wireless conferencing hub. Best for large boardrooms and executive meeting spaces.

• Dual-band WiFi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac)
• Up to 2 simultaneous presenters on screen
• ClickShare App (no Button required when using app)
• HDMI output to room display

Side-by-Side Comparison

Which ClickShare Should You Buy?
