Emerald Ecosystem

The Black Box Emerald Ecosystem stands for advanced security features, user comfort, and custom-designed redundancy to ensure resilient 24/7 operation. Its exceptionally low bandwidth usage makes it easy to incorporate remote and hybrid users and administrators working from any location, enabling them to access, monitor and control systems over a LAN, WAN, or the internet, including dark fiber connections.

The programmable ControlBridge^® touch panel from Black Box allows even complex control room configurations to be executed instantly with a single touch.

The Emerald Ecosystem unifies KVM-over-IP with AV video wall processing and IoT predictive maintenance under a single management system, Boxilla^® Manager, to reduce system complexity and total cost of ownership.

The Black Box Emerald^® Ecosystem provides exceptional flexibility, advanced security features and the low bandwidth usage essential to modern control room connectivity and collaboration.

ISE 2024 DEBUT PREVIEW: EmeraldAV WALL

In the new Black Box EmeraldAV WALL, making its official debut at ISE 2024, KVM unites with AV. Designed to meet user requirements for more effective collaboration, this solution enables seamless interoperability with Emerald KVM-over-IP systems while also supporting non-KVM environments. EmeraldAV WALL complements Emerald DESKVUE, making it easy to display a single source from an Emerald system on a video wall for viewing by a larger group. The solution directly supports a 2x2 video wall while allowing for the expansion in the number of supported monitors through additional units.

AWARD WINNER: Emerald DESKVUE

At ISE 2024, Black Box will demonstrate the award-winning Emerald DESKVUE KVM-over-IP receiver, a small-form-factor device that offers a completely new concept in creating individually tailored workspaces. Emerald DESKVUE allows a user to access up to 16 selected sources simultaneously, replacing multiple receivers and thus reducing system complexity and costs. Operators can implement a setup with up to four 4K monitors, but the preferred option is a large ultra-wide curved 5K monitor in the center with two smaller 4K monitors to the right and the left. Adding EmeraldAV WALL licenses on the Emerald DESKVUE receiver expands the capabilities for visualization with a 2x2 video wall. Users can arrange windows on the displays in any size and arrangement. Switching between systems happens automatically in the background as users perform their tasks, removing any need for manual switching commands, or even awareness of system changes.

Black Box Emerald^® DESKVUE is the latest in the evolution of innovative KVM solutions.
