Case Study: Canadian Business School enables remote interactive learning with Black Box KVX KVM Extenders

Canadian Business School installs KVX Extenders in 4 lecture halls with Black Box

a leading Canadian business school faced a challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic forced classes to move online. Their IT staff needed to move PCs from a distant communications room to lecture hall podiums so professors could teach with their normal tools and control the AV system for remote students, but they could not extend the necessary cabling over the long distance. They needed a fast, plug-and-play solution that supported 4K video and worked over their existing fiber cabling.

Black Box Network Services provided a solution using their KVX Series KVM Extenders, which extended the smartscreen, keyboard, mouse, and 4K video signals over the school's existing multimode fiber. The solution was installed quickly and met all the school's needs at an economical price. As a result, professors regained full control of the AV system from the podium, delivering an interactive learning experience for remote students. The school was so satisfied with the service and performance that they plan to install more KVX Extenders in the future.
