The Black Box Emerald DESKVUE KVM Receiver is a compact computing and electronics device designed for desk environments. This receiver supports a single system and offers robust console connectivity, including three HDMI outputs for resolutions up to 3840 x 2160, one USB-C (USB4) port, and multiple USB-A ports (two 2.0 and two 3.0/3.1/3.2 Gen 1) for peripherals, alongside a 3.5mm audio jack and an RJ45 port. With a single RJ45 KVM input, it efficiently extends your KVM signals, powered by an included AC adapter (100-240 VAC) and consuming 57W, making it ideal for streamlined workstation setups.
Matching your monitor's resolution and refresh rate capabilities with the KVM is crucial, as many budget switches cap out at 4K 30Hz or 1080p. Ensure it supports the exact number of monitors and computers you need. Available from $5,494.95.
KVM switches require very little electricity and have no consumables. Ownership costs are effectively zero beyond the initial purchase and required cabling.
