Black Box Supports Monitoring, Control Solutions With Broadcast-Ready Products

The Sports Video Group is pleased to welcome Black Box as a corporate sponsor. Headquartered in Lawrence, PA, the company provides broadcast and postproduction clients with mission-critical monitoring and control solutions, video-processing and -distribution infrastructure, and high-performance networking systems to improve collaboration and productivity, lower operating costs, and simplify backend support systems.

Broadcast Strategic Account Manager Bill Frazier notes that KVM systems are getting larger and more sophisticated: “In sports-production environments, digital KVM matrix systems give operators the flexibility to sit down at a single workstation and gain access to various video sources, including graphic engines, replay servers, video editors, and social-media servers.”

Black Box technology solutions include KVM and hybrid KVM peripheral matrix switching platforms providing support for HD video resolutions, including 4K; HD-video extension, including DVI, HDMI, SDI, HD-SDI, 3G, and DisplayPort; signal conversion and signal distribution; multiscreen viewing, instantaneous switching, and multiple-monitor viewing; and video delivered via IP multicast.

The company’s broadcast applications include control rooms, live production, outside broadcast/mobile broadcasting, and postproduction.
