This Emerald PE Single-Monitor KVM-over-IP DisplayPort Transmitter from Black Box allows you to connect with and control a computer on a TCP/IP network with a compatible receiver from your location, even when the computer is not local. The transmitter works on standard corporate networks and across WANs, even for media-rich applications, like video and photo editing. Link this transmitter to an optional receiver in a point-to-point KVM extension over CATx up to 328', or even further, using an IP or WAN connection. Or connect multiple TX and RX units to an Emerald or IP matrix switch. Emerald PE supports up to 32 endpoints.
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 $1,649.95.
KVM switches require very little electricity and have no consumables. Ownership costs are effectively zero beyond the initial purchase and required cabling.
