What Is Emerald® DESKVUE?

A smarter way to interact with multiple systems simultaneously.

DESKVUE is a multi‑source IP KVM receiver and software platform that allows operators to:

  • View and control multiple physical systems and virtual machines at the same time
  • Arrange systems across multiple high-resolution monitors in custom layouts
  • Interact with everything using one keyboard, mouse, USB devices, and audio setup

Unlike traditional KVM solutions, DESKVUE is designed around how operators actually work, not around rigid hardware limitations.

Current Control Room Challenges

Too many systems. Too many screens. Too much friction.

Control room and operations teams struggle with:

  • Switching constantly between isolated systems and inputs
  • Managing separate KVM, VM, and remote access tools
  • Limited desk space filled with keyboards, mice, and hardware
  • Inconsistent user experiences across physical and virtual environments
  • High costs from proprietary hardware and fragmented platforms

The result? Slower response times, operator fatigue, and operational risk.

DESKVUE eliminates these barriers by giving each operator a single, personalized control environment, no matter how complex the back-end infrastructure is.

Scale Without Re‑Architecting

Whether an operator needs access to a handful or dozens of systems, Emerald® DESKVUE scales easily across IP networks, supporting everything from compact workstations to enterprise‑wide deployments.

As operations grow or shift toward virtualization, Emerald® DESKVUE grows with them, eliminating the need for costly rip‑and-replace upgrades.

Why Emerald® DESKVUE Matters

Simplify complex control room workflows with a single, intuitive IP KVM workspace designed for real-time decision making.

In modern control rooms, operators are expected to monitor, manage, and interact with dozens of systems at once, including physical computers, virtual machines, live video feeds, and critical applications, often across multiple networks.

Emerald® DESKVUE, our award-winning KVM over IP solution, brings everything together into one unified, customizable workspace, allowing operators to work faster, reduce errors, and stay focused when it matters most.

If Emerald gives your operators faster control, reduces risk, and keeps this center operational under stress, is there any reason we shouldn’t move forward?

No pressure. Just logic. Let's build a zero-fail environment.
