Commercial Integrator’s Dan Ferrisi just reviewed the Barco ClickShare Bar Pro all-in-one videobar, which brings together multiple key collaboration tools. These include a camera with 4K sensor; six MEMS microphones; and clear, crisp speakers.
During this eight-minute-long review, Ferrisi touches on several points, starting with whether any kind of training is needed. Ferrisi emphasizes that he’s not a technologist, so he wasn’t sure whether he’d be able to use the device out of the box. He says that he was pleasantly surprised to find that the device has a simple, straightforward wireless connection and is incredibly intuitive. It’s a perfect example of the “Easy Button” mentality that dominates the corporate market these days.
Barco ClickShare Bar Pro – Inside the Box
Ferrisi also touches on what the all-in-one videobar includes and doesn’t include. In addition to the videobar itself, the box contains a power cord and two buttons to give people the opportunity to wirelessly host, collaborate and share. The videobar is a validated carbon-neutral product, part of which entails eliminating unnecessary, often-wasted materials in the box. Barco really interrogates every possible component to determine whether it’s really needed.

In the review, Ferrisi explains why the Barco ClickShare Bar Pro is so well suited to small and mid-sized meeting rooms. He discusses features and benefits including the following:
- flexibility to work with different conferencing platforms
- 4K content sharing
- simultaneous content sharing and speaker framing functionality
- new ways to interact with meeting participants (e.g., annotation, blackboarding)
This detailed review of the Barco ClickShare Bar Pro directly speaks to integrators and other pro AV channel members. It ends with the observation that, yes, videobars have become ubiquitous in recent years, and for good reason! They have an appealing form factor and boast lots of powerful capabilities. But not all videobars are created equal, and Barco’s offering is an especially compelling choice.
