Black Box at ISE 2023

Exhibiting at ISE 2023, Stand 5D600, Black Box® will showcase its portfolio of scalable, secure and future-proof AV-over-IP solutions. At the show, system integrators and end users can view demonstrations of how the company's innovative products enable a wide range of applications including among others, control rooms, simulation training centers, events, esports, entertainment, and digital signage for retail and hospitality.

Black Box® MCX AV-over-IP Distribution

Visitors to the Black Box stand at ISE will see firsthand the new MCX G2 series multimedia distribution and management system that offers users requiring real-time visualization with best-in-class source-to-screen latency (less than 18 microseconds), video loop-through connection, USB-C and three-port USB 2.0 connectivity, and PoE capability. The Black Box MCX G2 series is easy and cost-efficient to deploy. Users can take advantage of the system's software-defined environment to leverage existing infrastructure for delivery of better-quality audio and video, which can translate into greater customer satisfaction and faster time to revenue. The system's features provide a more flexible solution, efficient design/implementation, and lower overall cost than traditional AV-over-IP systems. The Black Box MCX takes advantage of SDVoE and modern 10 GbE infrastructure to allow AV and data payloads.

The Black Box MCX multimedia distribution and management system enables true convergence of AV and data on a single IT network.

Black Box® Emerald® KVM-over-IP Solution

At the Black Box stand, visitors will get a demonstration of the Emerald® KVM-over-IP solution that serves as an infinitely scalable access system to physical and virtual machines — anywhere and anytime — and allows for optimized control room infrastructure and workflows. Advanced security and market-leading low bandwidth consumption allow for maximum expandability, and the ability to incorporate remote users at distributed locations.

Black Box will also demonstrate its new KVM-over-IP receiver. Offering a completely new concept in KVM-over-IP, the new receiver eliminates the traditional one-to-one relationship with a transmitter or virtual system and allows users to create a personalized workspace where they can simultaneously view and interact with up to 16 different systems. Users can now tailor their workspace as best suits their needs by connecting a single keyboard, mouse, USB 3/2 devices, audio, and up to four 4K/5K monitors. The new receiver connects to physical systems via Emerald transmitters; VMs using RDP, PCoIP, PCoIP ultra, and H.264/265 sources; and Virtual Network Computing (VNC). All systems can be positioned across the screens as freely movable windows. Interacting with each system is as simple as moving the mouse onto the window. This model enables the user to maintain complete situational awareness and full control within easy reach.

Black Box Emerald® KVM-over-IP platform provides exceptional flexibility and the low bandwidth usage essential to state-of-the-art signal routing and centralized management.
