To use the ClickShare + INOGENI TOGGLE with a room PC

Are you looking for an affordable solution to connect Barco’s ClickShare Conference System with a wired USB peripheral system? INOGENI’s TOGGLE provides a cost-effective solution for switching between different USB peripherals in a room.

With the TOGGLE, you can connect the Barco ClickShare Conference  System (CX-20, CX-30, CX-50) with a variety of computer systems, including MTRs and Zoom Rooms. TOGGLE can also automatically switch the USB peripherals between the ClickShare Conference System (CX-50 with a wired BYOD setup) and a laptop.

Connecting INOGENI’s TOGGLE with the ClickShare Conference System and MTR or Zoom Rooms is easy.

1. Simply connect the CX-20/CX-30/CX-50 USB to the TOGGLE’s USB-B,
2. the MTR/ZR USB to the TOGGLE’s USB-B,
3. and the CX-20/CX-30/CX-50 HDMI Out to MTR/ZR HDMI IN.
4. Connect the MTR/ZR HDMI Out to the display
5. and the USB peripherals to the TOGGLE’s USB-A.
6. You can also connect the Toggle GPI/RS-232 to the corresponding control system for seamless management.

Once the connections are made, you can operate the device with the TOGGLE’s button or the room control processor connected to its GPI input or RS232 port. If the room has a control processor with RS232 capabilities, you can use it to manually send commands through RS232. Make sure to configure the TOGGLE in “Manual mode” using the INOGENI Control App.
