CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
High Reliability and Highly Secure: The Emerald SE system minimizes maintenance for administrators. The intuitive On-Screen-
Display is simple to learn and understand. The individual units have no moving parts to minimize potential for hardware failures. All
media streams transmitted between the Emerald SE devices are encrypted using 128-bit SSL. Password protection is also provided
to control access to all administration functions.
Transparent USB Re-Direction: The Emerald SE system provides transparent USB re-direction for both virtual and physical
desktop connections. Keyboards and mice are collated to a common channel while other USB devices are re-directed to virtual or
physical targets. There is a limit of two non-keyboard/mice devices that can be re-directed to a Transmitter unit (i.e. physical PC/
Workstation)
Environmentally Optimized: The Emerald SE system is optimized to minimize power requirements and eliminate noise. All Receivers
and Transmitters consume less than 6 Watts and are completely silent.
Easy Deployment: The Emerald SE system is designed to be easily and quickly deployed. No new drivers or software need to be
installed on target PCs or Virtual Desktops. The system uses standard networking protocols and cabling. Users and connections
are defined using an intuitive On-Screen-Display (OSD). Connections can be made via simple “click on target.” Multiple modes
of operation such as private connections, shared connections, auto-login, and auto-connect enable various workflows and
collaborations to be supported. Analog audio can now be shared in a shared mode connection.
