Emerald™ 4K KVM over IP is a Unified KVM converged system that delivers pixel-perfect HD or 4K video over an IP network, a proprietary direct connection or both. One that supports any combination and number of physical and virtual desktops and servers. One that provides true USB emulation. That's Unified KVM with Emerald™. Easily access both physical and virtual servers— with virtual machine support for VMware®, Microsoft® and Citrix®, using PCoIP, RemoteFX and RDP 8.1.

With more capabilities than other KVM solutions currently on the market, Emerald™ delivers superior value, lowering your costs of ownership and saving your IT investments.

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; InvisaPC™ for access to physical and cloud-based virtual servers over IP; the ControlBridge™ system for one-touch, multisystem control; and the award-winning Boxilla™ KVM Manager.
