Black Box considers its customers to be partners in both growth and success. By being proactive in responding to customer requirements, we can deliver solutions that are flexible to their ever-changing needs. This philosophy drives continuous improvement, from product design to service and support, ensuring our technology delivers lasting value.
Leading with the unique power of Emerald, we're developing next-generation systems that enhance real-time decision-making, security, and operational efficiency. Among the advanced technologies in the control room space are the Black Box Emerald KVM-over-IP platform, Emerald DESKVUE, and Emerald AV WALL. The Emerald KVM-over-IP platform offers a scalable, secure system that allows operators to connect to both physical and virtual machines with pixel-perfect video quality. The company’s Emerald DESKVUE enhances this experience, enabling operators to create customized workspaces, placing and interacting with as many as 16 systems across high-resolution displays—up to four 4K monitors or an ultra-wide 5K curved monitor. Emerald AV WALL integrates both KVM and AV functionalities to simplify video wall management and enhance collaboration. These systems illustrate the cutting-edge capabilities of KVM and AVoIP technologies in enhancing productivity, collaboration, and operational efficiency for control room environments.
