Black Box’s KVM over IP Matrix Solution - Emerald™ Awarded Best of Show at IBC 2018
September 26 2018 - 8:00AM
Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ: BBOX), an industry-leading provider
of keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) connectivity and signal
distribution systems, today proudly announced its high-performance
Emerald™ - KVM over IP Matrix Switching Solution has been awarded
the TVB Europe “Best of Show” title at IBC 2018. Black Box was
honored for developing a highly-flexible, future-proof and
high-performing KVM switching platform that connects operators,
editors and directors with remote computers in mission-critical
environments, including broadcast and media production.
“Today’s broadcast technology landscape is rapidly changing, and
many of our customers are looking for new KVM technologies that
provide connectivity to both local and virtualized assets anywhere
on their network,” said Josh Whitney, Senior Vice President -
Technology Product Solutions business at Black Box. “We’re proud to
say our development team in Ireland has done a great job in
creating a best-in-class technology solution that meets and exceeds
these requirements and provides future-proof connectivity for
businesses of all sizes.”
First presented at NAB 2018, Emerald Unified 4K KVM is a unique
KVM matrix switching solution that supports HD and 4K video at 60
Hz and 10-bit color depth, enabling pixel-perfect 4K image
transmission with mathematically lossless compression, as well as
transparent USB 2.0 and bidirectional audio. With Emerald, users no
longer have to choose between IP-based or proprietary signal
transmissions, as the platform supports mixed networks. The
solution also provides full support for virtualized IT
environments, enabling connectivity for any combination of physical
and virtual servers within a single KVM network. This gives
operators a smooth and easy migration path to virtualization. The
Emerald KVM platform offers virtual machine support for VMware®,
Microsoft® and Citrix® using RDP/RemoteFX and PCoIP. This enables
users to scale operations at their own pace across buildings,
campuses and wide area networks, while using their existing network
infrastructure. It also gives users the ability to switch between
sources at speeds of less than a second using IP or faster in a
direct-connect matrix.
“Emerald is a revolutionary solution for IT planners,
integrators and end users looking for futureproof KVM technology
that won’t lock them into specific switches, number of end-points,
resolutions or transmission distances,” said Whitney. “As we
continue to expand the Emerald family with new features, extenders
and support for other KVM platforms, our customers will benefit
from the most cost-efficient migration path. Emerald truly is the
future of KVM, and we’re proud to have received the ‘Best of Show’
award at IBC 2018.”
