About display connections

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

Note: Only for CB Pro!
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. Remove the cable cover at the back of the Base Unit.
