Black Box Expands Broadcast
Video Functionality Of Matrix Switch

U

sers, who are directors,
presenters, and editors, require
an undisturbed work environment
- they need to work away from
loud or continuous outside noise
and unnecessary heat...
A distraction-free workplace is
key to productivity and error-free
results. Additionally, broadcast is
a collaborative environment. Many
people need access to video and
sound for review and editing. They
need immediate access in realtime, and the quality of the work
has to be very high.
A KVM and HD video peripheral

switching and extension solution,
as provided by the Black Box
DKM high-performance matrix
switch, is ideal for broadcasting
environments. The DKM solution
provides KVM, video routing, and
switching and signal conversion
in a single, convergent platform;
enabling access to many users
at once, in real-time, and to highdefinition video signals, audio,
serial, and USB peripherals. The
configuration possibilities are
endless.
