KVM specialist Black Box is introducing the Emerald Remote App for macOS, which it says is the industry’s first software-based keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) receiver for Apple devices.
The solution enables Mac users to securely access both physical and virtual machines without the need for dedicated receiver hardware. The Mac version joins the previously available Windows edition.
According to the company, users can connect to remote systems over standard TCP/IP networks using a Mac desktop or laptop, eliminating the need for external hardware.
“Creative professionals and post production teams have long relied on Mac systems as their primary workstations,” said Tom Fitzgerald, product manager at Black Box. “With the Emerald Remote App for macOS, these users can now enjoy seamless, secure access to remote systems all from the devices they already use every day.”
When paired with Emerald transmitters and the Boxilla central manager, the software receiver supports multiple simultaneous sessions, multi-monitor setups and clipboard sharing—all managed securely through centralised authentication, added the company.
