Broadcast India Show 2024 Preview
Oct. 17-19
Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai
Booth #I8
At Broadcast India Show 2024 in Booth #I8, Black Box® will showcase its renowned Emerald® Unified KVM-over-IP products designed to provide secure, flexible and scalable workflows with industry-leading low IP bandwidth usage. Emerald devices enable seamless integration with H.264/265 video feeds, media controllers, automation systems and other systems, offering easy access to physical servers, public and private cloud with PCoIP® Ultra support, and collaborative virtual machine (VM) sharing.
Black Box will also highlight recent additions to the Emerald family that seamlessly integrate KVM functionality with advanced video processing under a unified management platform, and will demonstrate its robust IP-based KVM and AV solutions, designed to deliver exceptionally user-friendly experiences and unparalleled remote system connectivity. These solutions cater to production control rooms, remote and hybrid productions, and live events, showcasing the versatility and resilience of the Emerald ecosystem.
Emerald® KVM-Over-IP Platform
The Black Box® Emerald® KVM-over-IP platform is an infinitely scalable universal access system, allowing users to connect to physical and virtual machines with anywhere, anytime IP access over an existing IP network, WAN or even the internet. Black Box will highlight the Emerald system’s robust security features, power and connectivity options that add resilience and simplify setup, and intuitive interfaces for flexible layout configuration and agile switching. Black Box will also showcase a new power redundancy capability and two-network link redundancy (copper and fiber) for its Emerald traditional KVM DP receivers.
Adding to Emerald’s fail-safe platform, which has no single point of failure, are new security and compliance features to protect against internal and cyber threats. These advanced security features and market-leading, low-bandwidth consumption open new ways to configure the studio infrastructure with maximum expandability, incorporating remote users, remote productions and distributed control rooms. Interoperability between 4K and HD video, combined with one-touch control room setups and a high degree of automation through Emerald’s APIs, gives users valuable flexibility while ensuring ease of use.
The Emerald KVM-over-IP platform manages signals and format types, empowering users to deliver content with an innovative look and feel. Organizations can leverage existing IT equipment, facilitating control and monitoring through the Boxilla® KVM Manager’s intuitive and visually appealing KVM management dashboard. New small-form-factor DisplayPort units ease installation, much like the Emerald Remote App, by providing access to as many as nine concurrent Emerald connections from a Windows 10/11 laptop.

Emerald® DESKVUE
At Broadcast India Show 2024, Black Box® will demonstrate the award-winning Emerald® DESKVUE KVM-over-IP receiver, a small-form-factor device offering users a new concept for creating individually tailored workspaces. Emerald DESKVUE allows users to access up to 16 different physical or virtual systems and H.264/H.265 streams simultaneously, replacing multiple receivers and thus reducing system complexity and costs. All systems are displayed as individual windows on up to four 4K or curved (5K) monitors. Users can arrange these windows in any way; switching between systems happens automatically in the background as users perform their tasks, removing any need for manual switching commands — or even awareness of system changes.
Black Box will demonstrate Emerald DESKVUE with enhancements that enable greater workspace personalization, including system arrangements on the screen, with capabilities such as locking favored system tiles and easier, faster switching among tiles, as well as an exclusive work mode and personalized on-screen layouts — resulting in a tailored workspace with the most flexible system integration and visualization landscape.

Emerald® AV WALL
In the new Black Box® Emerald® AV WALL, KVM unites with AV. Designed to meet user requirements for more effective collaboration, this new solution enables seamless interoperability with Emerald® KVM-over-IP systems while supporting non-KVM environments. Emerald AV WALL complements Emerald® DESKVUE, making it easy to display a single source from an Emerald system on a video wall for viewing by a larger group. The solution directly supports a 2×2 video wall while allowing for the expansion in the number of supported monitors through additional units.
