About display connections

There are two ways to connect a display to the Base Unit:

Dual display connections

Two displays can be connected to the Base Unit at the same time. One must be connected using an HDMI connection, the other with a USB-C connection.

ClickShare supports touch functionality if the touch display is connected using USB-C and that connection is configured as position “1”in the configurator. For more information, see “Touch screen”.

Follow both procedures to connect both displays.

HDMI connection
  1. Connect an “HDMI” cable from the “HDMI out” port of the Base Unit to the “HDMI in” port of the display. (reference 1)

    When the display is correctly configured, the ClickShare setup splash screen will be displayed on the monitor.

  2. Is the display a touch screen? (only supported in a single display setup)

    • Yes, connect a “USB-A” cable to one of the “USB-A” ports of the Base Unit. (reference 2, Image 4–4)
    • No, the HDMI connection has been made.
USB-C connection
  1. Connect a display to the “USB-C” port at the back of the Base Unit with a “USB-C” cable or “USB-C to HDMI” adapter. (reference 1)
