Emerald® SE KVM-over-IP - DVI-D, USB 2.0, Audio, RJ45

Emerald SE – Powering the World’s Most Demanding Environments

Emerald SE transmitters and receivers deliver pixel-perfect HD video over standard IP networks. Operators get instant, seamless access to both physical and virtual systems with sub-second switching, flawless video, stereo audio, and transparent USB 2.0 support for mission-critical peripherals.

For administrators, Emerald provides centralized, secure management with flexible configuration and always-on reliability. Add the Boxilla Central Manager for enterprise-wide control, and you can scale from a single extender to hundreds or thousands of endpoints across buildings, campuses, or global networks - without forklift upgrades or costly new hardware.

Key Capabilities:

Scalable by Design
Start small - as extenders or a local switchable matrix - and expand into a fully managed enterprise control (KVM) system with Boxilla. Emerald grows with your control room.

Enterprise Access, instantly
Switch between sources in under half a second across your entire enterprise - buildings, campuses, or WAN - using existing IP infrastructure. Connection folders simplify management across the ecosystem.

Outstanding Video, Lossless Quality
Emerald SE delivers pixel-perfect HD DP/DVI video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 over copper IP networks with mathematically lossless compression. Start with HD today (Interchangeable with Emerald 4K, PE) and migrate to 4K at your own pace.

Virtualization Made Simple
Seamlessly access VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix environments using RDP, RemoteFX, and PCoIP. No extra hardware. No training curve. Just full control.

Standards-Based Networking
Emerald runs on standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet switches - Gigabit for HD, 10G for 4K, with 100G uplinks for large deployments. Built with proven, standards-based hardware from Black Box or your existing infrastructure.

Emerald Works with Your Entire Black Box Ecosystem
Seamlessly integrate with DKM matrix switching, Freedom II KM switches, ControlBridge room control, and Boxilla centralized management - giving you one unified platform for KVM, AV, and room automation.
