Description
The Black Box Secure NIAP 4.0 Certified KVM MultiViewer is a high-security KVM solution engineered for organizations that demand uncompromised control of multiple secure DisplayPort sources from a single console. This 4-Port, single-monitor KVM Multiviewer lets operators monitor and switch between up to four separate DisplayPort-equipped computers—each one isolated, yet accessible—from the same desk. With CAC card support and NIAP 4.0 certification, it delivers trusted performance for government, defense, and enterprise environments where data integrity and streamlined workflows are paramount. From mission-critical labs to secure command centers, this device provides the confidence to manage diverse computing resources without sacrificing security or speed. The MultiViewer is designed to protect sensitive data while enabling rapid decision-making, blending robust hardware security with intuitive usability that keeps operators focused on essential tasks rather than on technical fiddling.
- Quad-View, T-Quad, PiP and other layout options let operators optimize screen real estate and monitor up to four secure DisplayPort sources at once. Quad-View presents all four sources in a single panoramic view for rapid correlation, while T-Quad and PiP let you emphasize a dominant source without losing visibility of the others. The ability to resize, reposition, and designate the primary source accelerates incident response, reduces cognitive load, and enables faster, more accurate judgments in high-stakes environments.
- Single-console control delivers seamless keyboard and mouse sharing across all connected computers. Operators can issue commands, drag between windows, and manage each source from their familiar desktop setup, dramatically reducing desk clutter and the potential for cross-source input errors. This streamlined workflow improves productivity in control rooms, labs, and field-deployed operations where space, time, and accuracy are critical.
- Security and compliance sit at the core of the MultiViewer’s design. NIAP 4.0 certification and CAC (Common Access Card) support provide government-grade assurance for secure authentication, data separation, and controlled data paths between sources. This means sensitive information doesn’t leak between protected systems, while authorized personnel gain trusted access through smart-card credentials—supporting regulatory requirements and internal security policies with measurable confidence.
- Reliable video path and robust compatibility ensure image integrity across all sources. The DisplayPort video path is engineered to preserve color fidelity, sharpness, and timing consistency as operators switch between sources. Advanced EDID handling minimizes compatibility issues when mixing devices of varying capabilities, and the secure switching mechanism guarantees that transitions occur without unintended data exposure, maintaining a consistent operator experience even under heavy workloads.
- Flexible deployment and scalable design offer straightforward integration into existing security architectures. The unit supports easy front-panel switching, secure operation in fixed installations, and potential software-assisted management in compatible environments. Its modular approach accommodates future upgrades or reconfigurations, enabling organizations to expand from four sources to larger arrangements without replacing the console hardware.

how to install Black Box Secure NIAP 4.0 Certified KVM MultiViewer
- Power down all equipment before wiring. Connect each of the four DisplayPort sources to the KVM MultiViewer’s DP inputs using high-quality DisplayPort cables to ensure stable video signaling.
- Attach a DisplayPort monitor to the KVM’s DP output. Plug a keyboard and mouse into the USB ports on the device to enable full KVM control across all sources. If CAC authentication is required, prepare your CAC reader or enrollment hardware as part of the setup.
- Power on the KVM unit first, followed by the connected computers. Use the front-panel controls to select a starting source and configure the preferred viewing mode (Quad-View for a holistic overview or PiP to center a specific computer’s output).
- Test switching between sources to verify clean transitions, appropriate video quality, and correct keyboard/mouse focus for each active source. Confirm that control is responsive and that no cross-source input occurs when switching occurs.
- Document and secure the installation. Record the configured multi-view layout, source order, and any CAC-related authentication steps. Ensure compliance with your organization’s security policies and change-control procedures, and schedule firmware reviews or updates as recommended by the manufacturer.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is NIAP 4.0 certification and why is it important for a KVM Multiviewer? A: NIAP 4.0 certification validates strict security requirements for protecting data as it moves between secure computers. It provides assurance of controlled data paths, robust authentication, and adherence to government-grade security standards.
- Q: How many computers can be connected and displayed on one screen? A: The system supports up to four DisplayPort-enabled computers on a single monitor, with multiple viewing modes to tailor the display to operational needs.
- Q: Does the KVM MultiViewer support CAC (Common Access Card) authentication? A: Yes. CAC support is integrated to enhance secure access control and align with smart-card-based security policies.
- Q: Can I switch between sources quickly without relying on software? A: Yes. The device includes front-panel controls and secure switching capabilities that allow fast, direct source changes from the console.
- Q: Are firmware updates available for security improvements? A: Manufacturers typically provide firmware updates to address security enhancements or feature improvements; apply updates following your organization’s security policy and change-management procedures.
