At IBC 2022, Black Box will debut for the European market two new additions to its Emerald KVM-over-IP platform for improved user experience with remote access anytime and anywhere.

At IBC 2022, Black Box will debut two new additions to its Emerald KVM-over-IP platform offering remote access anywhere, anytime. Black Box is the Lawrence, Penn.-based IT solutions provider delivering technology solutions and consulting services to businesses across the globe.

Black Box Emerald GE is the first PCoIP Ultra gateway to enable simultaneous sharing of virtual machines and physical machines.

Per a statement, Black Box Emerald GE leverages PC-over-IP (PCoIP) Ultra technology to enable multiple users to connect simultaneously and control a virtual machine (VM) just as they would a physical system.

With extremely low bandwidth requirements, the system supports remote access through both local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs).

It also pairs seamlessly with the Emerald KVM-over-IP platform. Thus, the Emerald GE supports VM sharing while ensuring a secure, high-definition and highly responsive computing experience.

Unlocking collaboration across physical machines and VMs, it empowers broadcasters to work together more efficiently in remote production scenarios.

The Black Box Emerald VUE enables easy processing, responsive switching and simultaneous monitoring of 4K video.

The Emerald VUE 4K multiviewer unites KVM switching with quad multiviewing to enable simultaneous monitoring of four DisplayPort video sources across two screens at exceptional 4K60 image quality.

The system is ideal for production environments where space is limited, as it allows users to arrange windows freely on the screen or in preconfigured screen layouts. These include full-screen, quad-view or picture-in-picture (PiP).

Real-time switching between sources via keyboard, API or GPIO — or with the Black Box Glide & Switch capability — gives producers, engineers and editors convenient control over the production process.

The Emerald KVM-over-IP platform provides flexibility and low bandwidth usage essential to state-of-the-art signal routing and centralized management.

The Black Box Emerald KVM-over-IP platform serves as an infinitely scalable universal access system. Thus, it gives users the flexibility to connect to both physical and virtual machines from any location at any time. This then allows for optimized studio infrastructure and workflows.

Advanced security and market-leading low bandwidth consumption also facilitate maximum expandability, incorporating remote users, remote productions and distributed control rooms.

Interoperability between 4K and HD video and one-touch setups of control rooms, combined with a high degree of automation through Emerald’s APIs, give users valuable flexibility. It also provides ease of use in managing signals and format types to deliver content with an innovative look and feel. At the same time, Emerald preserves the existing IT equipment.

Boxilla offers comprehensive management of Emerald KVM platform with easy-to-read dashboards and rich API integration.

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 and checking on real-time device status. It also helps in identifying active devices, connections and users, as well as their current bandwidth usage.

To offer a precise view of network bandwidth, Boxilla 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.

Black Box’s videowall processing solutions enable the display of high-quality content from any source across multiscreen display walls with the utmost flexibility. Per the company, users can add, move, resize and change content in any creative configuration imaginable with limitless resolution.

Even as the industry evolves and expands, Black Box has a solution for every challenge. Whether it’s the ongoing migration to IP workflows and virtualization or the continuing embrace of media in new markets, you’ll find Black Box solutions that bring essential flexibility and efficiency to the table. We look forward to showcasing those solutions at IBC2022 — and to seeing friends and colleagues on the show floor once again.
