INTRODUCING Black Box Emerald® PCoIP Ultra Gateway

Black Box proudly introduces its latest edition to the Emerald KVM-over-IP KVM platform. Emerald GE provides cutting-edge technology to enable multiple users to connect simultaneously and control a virtual machine (VM) just as they would a physical system. The Emerald Gateway is the first to leverage PC-over-IP (PCoIP®) and PCoIP Ultra technology to support virtual machine sharing and to ensure a secure, high-definition, and highly responsive computing experience. Black Box Emerald GE unlocks collaboration across physical and virtual machines – a feature that was highly requested by Broadcast companies to improve collaborative work in remote production.

INTRODUCING Black Box Emerald® VUE Multiviewer

Emerald VUE addresses the demanding requirements from the broadcast industry for advanced 4K image processing and robust system switching with instant response. Emerald VUE enables the operation of multiple DisplayPort computers from a single console while facilitating simultaneous monitoring of four video sources spread over two screens. The multiview KVM switch delivers exceptional 4K60 DisplayPort image quality and allows users to arrange windows either freely on the screen or in one of the pre-configured screen layouts such as full screen, quad view, or Picture in Picture (PiP). Real-time switching between sources via keyboard, API, or GPIO keep producers, engineers, and editors in the lead of the production process.
