Black Box shows-off supreme speed and simplicity
UK-based Black Box was one of the companies displaying its wares at Integrate. The company is distributed in Australia by Armsign in NSW, but a number of UK-based engineers had flown over for the occasion.
Black Box’s latest and greatest AV devices are all about delivering high-quality, ease-of-use, very-high-switching-speeds, low-latency and the banishment of lag.

Black Box is major proponent of the SDVoE Alliance which seeks the: “replacement of point-to-point connectivity and the matrix switch with Ethernet-based AV distribution.”
Front and centre was the MCX S9 platform. While this isn’t particularly new, it launched shortly before COVID hit the world and few people got to see its (still) impressive performance. The demonstration showed how the simple-to-install, 10Gbe, low-latency switching box (and partner, touchscreen control panel) could effortlessly and almost instantly switch between multiple, incoming 4K 60fps video streams.
It could also (near) instantly send them to individual, grouped or all networked screens just by prodding the customisable, easy-to-use, touchscreen ‘buttons.’
We also saw the ‘Boxilla KVM & AV Management System’ that: “connects and manages several signal extension solutions enabling centralised secure remote access to an unlimited number of endpoints – computers and virtual machines – from one single intuitive access point.”
Plus, the Black Box Emerald PE KVM Extender with VM access which: “features pixel-perfect HD video, transparent USB 2.0, Power over Ethernet (PoE) and virtual machine support.”
