A capable enterprise DVI network extender pair, priced for serious IP KVM matrix deployments rather than single-room extension.
Emerald (Black Box) Emerald EMD4000T
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A capable 4K DisplayPort transmitter for serious network-routed KVM deployments — compare against ATEN's cheaper 5K KX9970T before committing.
