EMERALD UNIFIED KVM PLATFORM –KEY FEATURESThe award-winning Emerald Unified KVM platform, developed andmanufactured by Black Box, ushers in a new day in KVM technology —eliminating sacrificed performance, compromised solutions andfractured networks. The future-proof system provides a high degreeof flexibility and network security enabling state-of-the-art KVMextension and switching at industry-leading standards: Emerald can be operated as a point-to-point extension or a KVMswitching system Extend and switch HD (DVI) and pixel-perfect 4K (DisplayPort 1.2)video signals, high-speed USB 2.0 and bidirectional analog audio.Combine 4K and HD in one system Provide high-speed KVM access to virtual machines using RDP/RemoteFX or PCoIP — supports VMware , Microsoft and Citrix Flexible SFP ports allow for signal transmission over both CATx(100 m) and fiber (up to 10 km) Centrally manage your complete enterprise KVM networkfrom the award-winning, user-friendly and web-based KVMmanagement platform Boxilla Use ControlBridge or third-party control systems to switch betweensources or select presets from a touch screen. This allows simpleand flexible operations even within complex control room settings Choose between multiple rack mounting options and takeadvantage of a central power supply Use USB-powered ZeroU transmitter units to save valuable rackspaceEmerald is ideal for applications in various industries includingcritical, 24/7 command and control rooms and processmonitoring environments:21.877.877.2269BROADCASTINGMEDICALAIR TRAFFICMANAGEMENTPUBLIC SAFETYDEFENSEINDUSTRIALBLACKBOX.COM/EMERALD

EMD2000SE-T (TOP)EMD2000SE-R (BOTTOM)EMERALD COMPONENTSThe Emerald Unified KVM product family consists of multiplecomponents, including various transmitters (connected to acomputer) and receivers (connected to a user station), IP switches,SFP modules as well as a mounting kit for extender units.EMERALD TRANSMITTERS & RECEIVERSWith multiple types of extender units, Emerald provides the flexibilityyou need when connecting user stations with remote computersand servers. Start off with Emerald SE (Standard Edition) receiversand SE or Emerald ZeroU transmitters and add 4K units graduallywhen you need them. Or, use 4K extenders that also support lower(HD) resolutions and migrate to 4K resolutions at your own pace.When paired, all Emerald transmitters and receivers can be usedas point-to-point extenders, providing KVM signal extension upto 10 km (single-mode fiber). See the diagram on page 5 for moreinformation. By connecting multiple extender units to an IP ormatrix switch, you can scale your system to enable cross-pointmatrix switching between multiple users, computers and virtualmachines. This method allows you to connect up to 32 endpoints1.877.877.2269EMD4000T (TOP)EMD4000R (BOTTOM)without an additional management appliance. For deploymentslarger than 32 endpoints, our Boxilla KVM management platformwill help you manage, monitor and maintain your entire KVM system.FEATURES OF EMERALD EXTENDER UNITS Access remote, high-speed servers and computers storedsafely in your central equipment room Switch and extend visually lossless HD or pixel-perfect4K video (lossless compression, 10-bit color ready);dual-head SE units available Extend and share up to four USB devices (HID and/or highspeed,transparent USB 2.0) such as keyboards, mice, Wacom tablets,touch interfaces or flash drives as well as bidirectional analog audio Transmit signals over IP and securely access critical devices overWAN/internet Connect via dual network ports for fail-safe operation(Emerald 4K extenders) Access virtual machines in real time using RDP 8.1/ RemoteFXor PCoIP, eliminating the need for constant logins Supports access to VNC serversBLACKBOX.COM/EMERALD3

NETWORK AND BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTSUse any managed IP switch supporting Multicast over IGMPand full-wire speed, or rely on specified Emerald IP switches.Or use an existing IP network that can provide enough bandwidthto transmit the required data. The required bandwidth depends onthe video quality, required resolutions and bandwidth consumedby USB devices. Emerald lets you change the video compressionin five easy steps: adjust from highly compressed (ca. 35 Mbps,VIRTUAL MACHINE CONNECTIVITYBlack Box has been pioneering real-time virtual machine KVMconnectivity that provides high-performance access to virtualizedinfrastructure.
