At Integrate Middle East 2024 in Booth AR-F45, where the company is exhibiting along with its partner NOVO, Black Box® will feature IP-based KVM and AV solutions that empower users with exceptionally intuitive user experiences and incomparable system connectivity for production control rooms and both remote and hybrid productions — including live events — without compromise. The company will demonstrate exciting new additions to the award-winning Emerald® DESKVUE, a completely new concept in IP KVM, including the ISE 2024 Best of Show Award-winning Emerald®AV WALL.
High-performance IP KVM solutions from Black Box address the requirements of modern broadcast, gaming and esports environments. In addition to providing proven reliability, ensuring low-bandwidth requirements and enabling exceptional user experiences with anytime, anywhere access, these solutions lower users’ cost of ownership, support greater workflow optimization and contribute to nimbler IP-based operations.
Emerald® DESKVUE
Black Box® will highlight the award-winning Emerald® DESKVUE KVM-over-IP receiver, a small-form-factor device that offers users a completely new concept in creating individually tailored workspaces. Emerald DESKVUE allows a user to access up to 16 different physical or virtual systems simultaneously, replacing multiple receivers and thus reducing system complexity and costs. All systems are displayed as individual windows on up to four 4K or curved 5K monitors. Users can arrange these windows in any way, as they would on a video wall, but at their desk space. 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.
Emerald®AV WALL: Taking Emerald® DESKVUE to New Heights
In the new Black Box® Emerald®AV WALL, KVM unites with AV. Designed to meet user requirements for more effective collaboration, this new 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 2 x 2 video wall while allowing for expanding the number of supported monitors through additional units.
Emerald® GE Gateway, the Newest Addition to the Emerald Family
This year at Integrate Middle East, Black Box® will also showcase the Emerald® GE Gateway. Connecting seamlessly to the Emerald IP-based KVM network, the Emerald GE Gateway gives all Emerald users enhanced simultaneous connectivity with VM sharing as well as physical machine access, saving the cost of additional PCoIP clients. Using intuitive dashboards created with the Black Box Boxilla® KVM management system, IT administrators can manage and monitor Emerald GE via a centralized system.
Black Box® Boxilla® KVM Manager
The Black Box® Boxilla® enterprise-level KVM manager makes it easy for users to control and monitor an unlimited number of Emerald® devices and software solutions. With its intuitive and visually appealing dashboard, Boxilla offers a simple, complete solution for monitoring system performance, configuring proactive security alerts, checking on real-time device status and identifying active devices, connections and users as well as their current bandwidth usage. To offer a precise view of network bandwidth, Boxilla also provides at-a-glance access to dropped frames, round-trip time and other critical system and device data. With these capabilities and the system’s ease of use, administrators can proactively identify and resolve issues before they compromise performance and the user experience.
Product managers and global solution experts will be available on the booth to answer questions about how Black Box solutions address a wide variety of broadcast, media and control room challenges.
