CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW

The Emerald SE system provides users with a seamless desktop experience anywhere on a TCP/IP network, while allowing the actual 
hardware to be securely housed in a corporate data center or in the cloud. Emerald SE enables the same high fidelity experience of a 
desktop PC even for media-rich applications, for example, watching videos, photo editing with Photoshop or 3D design with AutoCAD.  
The remote desktops may be hosted on a physical PC / workstation or may be a virtual desktop hosted on a private server or in the 
cloud. The Emerald SE system provides its users with Receivers that communicate with target computer nodes (whether physical PC 
or virtual desktop) over a standard TCP/IP network. Physical PCs/Workstations/Servers have an Emerald SE Transmitter unit  
physically connected to provide communication over the TCP/IP network. The performance of Emerald SE allows them to be deployed 
on standard corporate networks and even across Wide-Area-Networks (WANs).

Desktop users can access remote keyboard, mouse, video, audio, USB mass storage devices, headsets and other USB devices from 
the Receiver unit to the remote PC/workstations or Virtual Desktop via the Emerald SE system.

NOTE

:  Some USB 2.0 devices have been found to be incompatible. Please report these devices to Black Box.

NOTE

:  References to the Emerald SE system in this document refer to both Receivers (EMD2000SE-R, EMD2002SE-R) and 

Transmitters (EMD2000SE-T, EMD2002SE-T).

2.1 EMERALD SE SYSTEM FEATURES 

 

 
Emerald SE leverages state-of-the-art technologies in compression, networking, and latency management. Some of the key 
features of Emerald SE are:

Š

Š

Pixel-Perfect Video Quality: The Emerald SE system uses a compound compression algorithm to provide a lossless video 

experience at a low network bandwidth. None of the bandwidth variability and noise effects of analog extension schemes exist. 
Emerald SE can support a 1080p HD movie in <40 Mbps.

Š

Š

Uses M/C stream for shared mode to allow scaling of # of users that can share a transmitter. Analog audio can now be shared in a 

shared mode connection.

Š

Š

Seamless integration of Physical and Virtual Desktops: The Emerald SE system connects to physical PCs, servers, and video 

sources as well as virtual desktops hosted on servers or in the cloud. This allows seamless connection to physical resources and 
virtual resources from the same Receiver unit. IT professionals use this capability to optimize their deployments and migrations to 
cloud services.
