Emerald® Zero U DP KVM-over-IP Transmitter - Single-Head, HD, Embedded DisplayPort Audio, 12-in.

The Emerald® Zero U DP KVM-over-IP Transmitter is engineered for high-density data centers and demanding enterprise environments where space is at a premium and performance cannot be compromised. This innovative transmitter delivers powerful keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) over IP in a 0U footprint, turning a seemingly impossible rack configuration into a streamlined, scalable solution. Designed to pair with the Emerald SE Receiver, it creates a seamless desktop experience across remote workstations and centralized data centers. By eliminating rack units while maintaining rich DisplayPort video with embedded audio, this transmitter helps IT teams consolidate hardware, simplify cabling, and accelerate secure remote access for administrators and operators. The result is a robust, low-latency KVM-over-IP deployment that supports critical applications—from server management and engineering workstations to multi-user control rooms—without sacrificing performance, reliability, or ease of management.

• Zero-U rack footprint for maximum density: The transmitter is designed to mount in 0U form factor environments, enabling you to add more critical IT and KVM gear to your data center without increasing rack space, cable clutter, or cooling load. This space-saving design supports larger, more efficient deployments and reduces the need for expansive rack rails.
• Single-Head, HD DisplayPort video with embedded audio: Experience crisp, high-definition visuals and integrated audio through DisplayPort, delivering a telco-grade, distraction-free desktop experience for administrators and operators. The embedded DisplayPort audio ensures synchronized sound without requiring separate audio cabling or adapters, simplifying the wiring layout.
• KVM-over-IP for secure, remote access: Enable remote management across IP networks with low latency and high reliability. The transmitter transmits KVM signals over IP to allow administrators to manage servers, storage, and infrastructure from anywhere on the network, enhancing uptime, response times, and operational efficiency while maintaining strong security controls.
• 12-inch form factor and flexible integration: At 12 inches in length, this transmitter is compact enough to fit into tight installations and easy to route within standard cable channels. Its compact dimension supports modular data-center design, making it straightforward to scale as your infrastructure grows.
• Seamless compatibility with Emerald SE Receiver: When paired with the Emerald SE Receiver, the transmitter delivers a cohesive, end-to-end KVM-over-IP solution that provides a unified remote desktop experience across the Emerald ecosystem. This pairing simplifies management, improves user experience, and helps standardize hardware across your remote access deployments.
