Emerald DESKVUE PE From Black Box Wins 2025 NAB Show Product of the Year Award
- 23 April, 2025
The Black Box Emerald® DESKVUE PE Multi-Source IP KVM receiver raises the bar for high-precision performance
while enhancing collaborative workflows.
USA: Black Box®, a leading digital infrastructure solution provider, announces that its Emerald® DESKVUE PE is a remote production category winner in the 2025 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards. This official awards program recognizes some of the most significant and promising new products and technologies showcased by exhibitors at the 2025 NAB Show.
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 superior flexibility and viewing options to 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 2x2 video wall for viewing by a larger group. This year Black Box
has made it even simpler to upgrade and add a 4x4 video wall solution.
"NAB is proud to recognize the industry's top work driving a remarkable range of solutions opening new frontiers and shaping the future of content creation, distribution, and monetization," said Eric Trabb,
Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Success officer at NAB. "Congratulations to Black Box on earning the 2025 NAB Show Product of the Year Award for Emerald DESKVUE PE - a breakthrough solution transforming a pivotal stage of the content lifecycle and empowering storytellers to meet today's challenges."

This is the second NAB Show Product of the Year award for Black Box. In 2023, Emerald DESKVUE took home the prestigious accolade in the hardware infrastructure category.
NAB Show Product of the Year Award Winners were selected by a panel of industry experts in 16 categories and announced in a live awards ceremony at NAB Show on April 8. To be eligible for an award, nominated products had to come from companies exhibiting at the 2025 NAB Show and be delivered within the 2025 calendar year.
