Black Box at InfoComm Asia 2024

Control Room Solution Built on High-Performance AV-/KVM-Over-IP

At InfoComm Asia 2024 in Booth Q45, Black Box® will present a control room solution featuring Emerald® IP KVM and AV-over-IP products, with ControlBridge® touch-panel control. Booth visitors will see how the latest additions to the award-winning Emerald product line combine to provide a competitive solution for control rooms requiring high-quality KVM and video support.

Versatile, high-performing AV solutions from Black Box address the requirements of modern control room applications. In addition to providing proven reliability, ensuring low-bandwidth requirements, and enabling exceptional user experiences with anytime, anywhere access, these solutions lower users’ cost of ownership, support greater workflow optimization, and contribute to more nimble IP-based operations.

Emerald DESKVUE

As part of its control room solution demo at InfoComm Asia 2024, Black Box® will feature the award-winning Emerald DESKVUE IP KVM receiver, a small-form-factor device that offers users a completely new concept in creating individually tailored workspaces. Emerald DESKVUE allows a user to access up to 16 different physical or virtual systems simultaneously, replacing multiple receivers and thus reducing system complexity and costs. All systems are displayed as individual windows on up to four 4K monitors (or three 4K monitors and one 5K curved monitor). Users can arrange these windows in any way, as they would on a video wall, but at their desk space. 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.

Emerald AV WALL: Taking Emerald DESKVUE to New Heights

With the new Black Box Emerald AV WALL software feature of Emerald DESKVUE, KVM unites with AV. Designed to meet user requirements for more effective collaboration, this new solution enables seamless interoperability with Emerald IP KVM systems while also supporting non-KVM environments. Complementing Emerald DESKVUE, Emerald AV WALL makes 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 x 2 video wall and, with additional Emerald AV WALL units, can support additional monitors.

Emerald GE Gateway, the Newest Addition to the Emerald® Family

This year at InfoComm Asia, Black Box will also showcase the Emerald GE Gateway. Connecting seamlessly to the Emerald IP-based KVM network, the Emerald GE Gateway gives all Emerald® users enhanced, simultaneous connectivity with virtual machine (VM) sharing as well as physical machine access, saving the cost of additional PCoIP clients. Using intuitive dashboards created with the Black Box Boxilla® KVM management system, IT administrators can manage and monitor Emerald GE Gateway via a centralized system.


Black Box Emerald AV WALL and Emerald® GE Gateway are the latest in the evolution of the company’s innovative KVM solutions.

ControlBridge® Touch Panel

Connecting and combining AV, KVM, room automation, external control and IoT systems in one easy-to-use control panel, the Black Box ControlBridge touch panel increases operator comfort while reducing human error. The programmable touch panel allows users to change between complex workflow setups with just one click. Numerous scenarios, such as day or night shifts, crisis recovery plans, backup types and many others, can be preconfigured and indicated on the touch panel with clear names. With these tested presets, users can maintain their focus on key tasks, acting more quickly and with minimal error.


Connect and control all devices within a room, from multimedia to room automation systems, with ControlBridge from Black Box.


Company Quote

“Control room operators need to visualize and share critical, real-time data and content with key stakeholders, as well as make immediate decisions to mitigate or avert issues. Enabling convenient, customizable AV distribution/extension and visualization, the robust control room solution we’re showing at InfoComm Asia 2024 addresses all these requirements. Most notably, we will highlight the acclaimed Emerald DESKVUE receiver along with the popular new Emerald AV WALL, a feature that enhances collaboration across the control room by enabling DESKVUE users to shift key sources to a 2x2 video wall for group viewing. We look forward to sharing this exciting solution with show attendees and demonstrating how our ControlBridge panel makes controlling these AV/KVM systems effortless.” — Cavan Ho, Black Box® Senior Sales Manager for Southeast Asia and Korea
