The primary goal of public safety is to create safer communities, but COVID-19 makes that a greater challenge than ever. Now even those who are supposed to keep everyone safe are at risk.
To meet these challenges, institutions and agencies are embracing digital transformation. This shift is empowering public safety employees to make better-informed decisions, enabling secure remote access for those who now work from home, and creating opportunities for interagency collaboration.
In this 45-minute webinar, learn how Black Box's signal switching and visualisation solutions help improve situational awareness, decision-making, and response times in emergency operations centers, help streamline computer-aided dispatching activities, and enable rapid real-time data sharing, mission-critical communication collaboration, and efficient security operations.
Modern control rooms are under increasing pressure to manage more systems, more data, and faster decision-making — all while maintaining operational reliability and security. In this webinar, Black Box experts David Isola and Tom Fitzgerald explore how modern KVM-over-IP technology is transforming legacy control room environments into scalable, efficient, and operator-focused workspaces.
Discover how the Emerald® KVM platform enables operators to securely access and control multiple physical and virtual systems through a single, streamlined interface, reducing operator fatigue, simplifying workflows, and improving visibility across mission-critical operations.
The session also highlights advanced capabilities including DESKVUE® multi-source workspaces, remote access, virtual machine integration, UltraStream™ low-latency 4K streaming, and Canvas video wall management. Learn how organizations in sectors such as emergency operations, utilities, defense, and air traffic control are modernizing their control rooms to improve efficiency, resilience, and operational readiness.
Play VideoThis webinar demonstrates Black Box's Boxilla® central management system for IP KVM solutions, focusing on secure control room operations. The session covers how Boxilla serves as the intelligent controller for the Emerald ecosystem, managing transmitters, receivers, and user access across distributed networks.
Key features discussed include centralized device management, bandwidth monitoring, security through certificate exchange and user permissions, active directory integration, and API automation capabilities. The presentation highlights redundancy features like distributed databases and clustering options that ensure continuous operation even if Boxilla goes offline.
Applications engineers Jeremy and Ruben provide live demonstrations of the web interface, showing real-time monitoring, user management, and connection control.
Play VideoThis webinar introduces major new features for Emerald, a unified platform for managing multiple sources in control rooms. The session features a panel of three experts discussing recent upgrades including UltraStream technology, which delivers multiple 4K video streams over one gigabit Ethernet, and WebLink, which provides browser-based access to SCADA and web systems without additional hardware.
The discussion covers how these innovations address customer pain points around access, security, and infrastructure costs while simplifying control room operations. The panelists explain how UltraStream reduces network infrastructure requirements and costs by enabling 4K video over existing one gig networks, while WebLink eliminates the need for custom middleware and additional hardware.
The webinar concludes with a look at future developments including fully integrated video wall solutions and AI-assisted operator functionality. Questions from attendees focus on demos, classified environment usage, and AI implementation plans.
