Barco: A Premium AV Brand
Originally established as Belgian American Radio Corporation in 1934, the Belgian company’s founder, Lucien de Puydt, initially assembled radios from components he imported from the U.S. Over the years, the company pioneered many technologies, including the multi-standard TV, Europe’s first color TV, CRT projectors for airplanes, and more.
Today, they focus on digital imaging and projection technology, specifically in entertainment, healthcare, and enterprise markets. The company has positioned itself as a premium brand—their hardware is often found in professional settings, such as large-scale entertainment events, control rooms, and movie theaters.

The ClickShare system uses LED lights to signal when an issue arises. Here’s a quick guide to their meanings:
- LED is off: Try connecting the ClickShare eButton to a different device. If it works, the problem is likely with the original device’s port. If it still won’t light up, the unit may be defective or broken.
- LED is blinking: The ClickShare Button can’t open the ClickShare App. This could be due to access restrictions set by your IT team or interference from antivirus software.
- LED is spinning: The ClickShare Button can’t pair with the receiver, most likely due to a network connectivity issue.
