Interact and The CS-100
As this is the newest, latest edition, the Interact team was keen to get their hands on it. Interact set the CS-100 up in their test lab where they played with it and tried very hard to break it. Interact tried a variety of devices with the usual operating systems, they found the CS-100 coped well with all of them. This product is able to work with devices running various versions of Windows 7,8,8.1 and 10. For mac fans it will run with OSX 10.10 and 10.11. And for you mobile users you’ll need Android 4.1 or later, iOS 7.0 or later.
The device has got a good number of ports considering it's size, it has one Ethernet LAN, two USB (one on the front and one at the back) and it also has an audio port with 3.5mm jack. So, overall Interact were very happy with the way the CS-100 worked and the whole team felt pretty excited about showing it to their customers.
The CS-100 unit does offer scaled down functionality compared to other Barco ClickShare models but Interact say it still provides a comprehensive set of features that their customers love.
Design
It looks good! Barco shrunk the chassis into a small, router like device that can easily be hidden behind a screens to further enhance the Barco message of “no cables on the tables”!
Interact say the feedback they are receiving from their customers is very positive, clients of the company are saying they love the way it works and that they are happy its ease of use. Clients are telling Interact this new model makes their meetings much easier, smaller companies are finding that they can hold meetings on site because they don't need much space.
