Maximizing video and audio program delivery at the highest resolutions and clarity through state-of-the-art technologies and forward-thinking IT solutions.
Introducing the New Era of Editing, Distribution, and Delivery
Broadcast & Media companies are evolving and making a rapid transition to cloud-based workflows and automating broadcast operations for program transmission, master control, news production, and live production. Today's KVM technologies play a pivotal role in this transition allowing managers, editors, operators, and engineers to manage and rapidly reconfigure infrastructure, allowing ease of setup and configuration when time costs money. Black Box has extensive experience in developing KVM solutions for the Broadcast & Media Industry by working with clients to develop innovative KVM solutions.
Streamline Operations for Content Delivery with Pioneering Broadcast Solutions
When it comes to broadcast and post-production, KVM is the secret ingredient that brings everything to life. Black Box can provide a large variety of KVM options that give you these benefits:
Enterprise-class KVM enables you to access systems from any location.
Scalable, futureproof solutions mean you can add servers and user stations as demand increases.
Improved modes of operation provide efficient workflows.
Meets the need for speed: KVM solutions switch video keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices in real-time.
Never fear, you won't have downtime. Redundancy and resiliency are built-in.
Streamlined Broadcasting Workflow
KVM systems, one of the hidden foundations of a broadcast facility, have evolved from being an occasional use tool for setup and troubleshooting into one of those infrastructure items that are used every moment of the day.
Post-Production
KVM supports end-to-end content acquisition and playout by ensuring distribution of reliable digital image quality and fast switch-over of redundant hardware when required, and also allows users to connect to several backup playout servers.
IP Broadcasting, Remote Broadcasting, & IP Playout
IP-based KVM provides remote access over the WAN to post-production video libraries and also gives broadcast control room or stadium control room mobile operators flexibility and fast setup times.
Choose Technology that Anchors Broadcast Solutions
Today's IT administrators face the challenge of deploying broadcast solutions that can span numerous devices over thousands of miles, and this can be a daunting task. Black Box KVM and video wall processing solutions ease the IT administrators' pain by providing comprehensive, scalable, futureproof installations via a variety of products, including Emerald high-performance KVM, multiview KVM, and KVM extenders, as well as video wall processors and enterprise KVM managers.
