PMRExpo attendees will discover how cutting-edge technologies from Black Box empower control room operators with centralized control, scalable solutions, and reliability designed for 24/7 operations. Booth highlights will include the new Emerald® DESKVUE PE receiver with precise 4K/60 video processing, as well as additions to the Emerald family that ease users’ migration to virtualization and VM sharing. Visitors also will see how highly secure and resilient IP-based KVM solutions with integrated video wall control enable exceptionally intuitive user experiences and incomparable remote system connectivity in control room environments.
Emerald® KVM-Over-IP Platform
The Black Box® Emerald® IP KVM platform serves as an infinitely scalable universal access system, giving users the flexibility to connect to both physical and virtual machines, along with anywhere, anytime IP access over an existing IP-network, WAN, or even the Internet. Advanced security with industry-leading minimal bandwidth consumption enable new ways of configuring studio infrastructure with maximum expandability, incorporating remote users, remote productions, and distributed control rooms. Interoperability between 4K and HD video, and one-touch control room setups combine with a high degree of automation through Emerald’s APIs to give users valuable flexibility and ease of use.

Emerald® DESKVUE PE
Black Box® will demonstrate the award-winning Emerald® DESKVUE PE KVM-over-IP receiver, which offers a completely new concept in creating individually tailored workspaces. DESKVUE PE allows simultaneous access and multi-view of up to 16 different physical or virtual systems with advanced visualization technology. All systems are displayed as individual windows on up to four or one single ultra-wide curved monitor. Users can arrange these windows in any way to focus on their main tasks in the center. Switching the systems happens automatically in the background as the users perform their tasks, removing any requirement for manual switching commands or even noticing the system change. Emerald® AV WALL, a software feature inside Emerald® DESKVUE, makes 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 2×2 video wall while allowing for the expansion of the number of supported monitors through additional units.
