LAS VEGAS, NV – April 24, 2025 – Black Box®, a leading digital infrastructure solution provider, today announced that its Emerald® DESKVUE PE Multi-Source, Multi-View receiver has received a Best of Show Award, presented at the 2025 NAB Show by TV Tech.
Selected by a panel of industry experts, Best of Show Awards are judged on the criteria of innovation, feature set, cost efficiency and performance in serving the industry. The Best of Show Awards, from TV Tech and other brands at its parent company, Future US, were chosen from companies that exhibited at the 2025 NAB Show and submitted nominations.
“The products nominated for the Best of Show program provide an outstanding overview of new technology on the show floor and shine a spotlight on the very best,” noted the Best of Show Awards editorial team.
The Emerald DESKVUE PE Multi-Source, Multi-View IP KVM receiver enables all systems to be displayed as individual windows on up to four 4K monitors, including one ultrawide curved 5K monitor. Users can arrange, resize or move/drag system “tiles” or “windows” across the connected monitors, allowing for superior flexibility and viewing options on the desktop “canvas.” Seamless switching of the systems happens automatically in the background as users move their mouse from one connected system to another, so there is no need for manual switching.
Emerald® AV WALL, a software feature native to Emerald DESKVUE, makes it easy to display a single source from an Emerald system on a 2×2 video wall for viewing by a larger group. This year, Black Box has made it even simpler to upgrade and add a 4×4 video wall solution.
