Emerald Unified KVM
Access and manage an unlimited number of servers, PCs, and virtual machines from any location and share resources such as hardware and licenses across a dedicated KVM network, an existing IP network, or even the internet.
High performance, secure extension and switching of 4K60 (DisplayPort 1.2) and HD (DVI) video, transparent USB 2.0 and bidirectional analog audio.
Benefit from BIOS-level access to troubleshoot, reconfigure, reboot and power cycle servers remotely.
Provide access to virtual machines, such as Vmware® and Microsoft® over RDP 8.1 or PCoIP (Ultra), to lower IT costs. Let multiple users access simultaneously the same virtual machine.
Start with HD and add 4K at your own pace. Scale a small point-to-point extension up to an enterprise KVM matrix of unlimited endpoints by adding additional receivers/transmitters.
Designed with 24/7/365 critical applications in mind, Emerald 4K and Emerald PE are configurable with redundant network paths via SFP(+) ports (fiber or copper) for fail-safe operation. Supports complete switchover to a backup control room location.
True USB emulation, supporting USB HID devices, X-Keys, USB push buttons, Wacom® tablets, USB mass storage, and other high-speed USB 2.0 devices.
Enable multiple users to access any number of physical and virtual servers and desktops. Support for VMware® and Microsoft®, using PCoIP Ultra, PCoIP, RDP 8.1, and RemoteFX.
Extend and switch HD and 4K video. Adjust compression in five steps up to pixel-perfect image transmission — every pixel visualized at 60 fps with 10-bit color depth.
Use the Emerald Remote App to turn any Windows 10 device into a software KVM receiver. Connect to multiple transmitters and virtual machines simultaneously and from everywhere.
The Emerald Remote App is a new KVM software receiver that enables remote computer access to both physical and virtual machines from any Windows 10 device. The Remote App increases mobility, device access and monitoring on your Emerald System and delivers a full HD video desktop experience up to 40 fps from multiple connections that can be launched simultaneously. This facilitates device management and access to your Emerald KVM network from anywhere you want.

Emerald® GE is a new unique solution, which leverages cutting-edge PCoIP® Ultra technology to enable users to access the cloud or a virtual machine just as they would a physical system. Because the gateway can be implemented across multiple receivers, users can access virtual machines in a shared model rather than a conventional single-user (point-to-point) model. With extremely low bandwidth requirements, the system supports secure, high-definition, and highly-responsive remote access over a LAN or WAN.

While Emerald is a one-of-a-kind solution that opens up the revolutionary new world of Unified KVM, the platform builds upon time-tested KVM technology evolved by Black Box since the early 1990s. Emerald works flawlessly with many popular Black Box product families, including: the DKM proprietary direct-connect KVM system; the Freedom II KM Switch for easy switching just by moving a mouse between screens; the ControlBridge® system for one-touch, multisystem control; and the award-winning Boxilla® KVM Manager.
This 4 or 8 port USB KM Switch allows switching between up to 8 connected PCs by just moving your mouse from one screen to another. Compatible with all Emerald products.
Versatile touch-based multisystem room control processor. ControlBridge allows control room operators to switch between sources or whole room setups.
