Black Box Emerald® GE PCoIP® Ultra Gateway
The recently announced Black Box Emerald® GE leverages cutting-edge 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). Pairing seamlessly with the Emerald KVM-over-IP platform, Emerald GE supports VM sharing while ensuring a secure, high-definition and highly responsive computing experience. Unlocking collaboration across physical machines and VMs, Emerald GE empowers broadcasters to work together more efficiently in remote production scenarios.
Black Box Emerald® GE is the first PCoIP® Ultra gateway to enable simultaneous sharing of virtual machines and physical machines.
Black Box Emerald® VUE 4K Multiviewer
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 such as 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 Black Box Emerald® VUE enables easy processing, responsive switching and simultaneous monitoring of 4K video.
Black Box Emerald® KVM-Over-IP Platform
The Black Box Emerald® KVM-over-IP platform serves as an infinitely scalable universal access system, giving users the flexibility to connect to both physical and virtual machines from any location at any time, which allows for optimized studio infrastructure and workflows. Advanced security and market-leading low-bandwidth consumption allow maximum expandability, incorporating remote users, remote productions and distributed control rooms. Interoperability between 4K and HD video and one-touch setup of control rooms, combined with a high degree of automation through Emerald’s APIs, give users valuable flexibility and ease of use in managing signals and format types to deliver content with an innovative look and feel — all while preserving investment in existing IT equipment.
Black Box Emerald® KVM-over-IP platform provides exceptional flexibility and the low bandwidth usage essential to state-of-the-art signal routing and centralized management.
