Requirements
To use PiKVM v3, you will need the following things, which are NOT included in the kit:
Known issues & limitations
- The actual frame rate of the image received via HDMI will depend on
the network bandwidth, resolution and the load on the Raspberry Pi. This
is usually ~20-24 FPS for 1080p over LAN.
- AIMOS switches are not fully compatible with the video capture device (as with regular HDMI CSI bridge).
- There may be compatibility issues with some motherboards (such as HP
or DELL) which are the same as those that exist with Pi-KVM v2. Not
everything is perfect, but if you have already used Pi-KVM v2 - our new
v3 will work perfectly and please you. If there is no image from the
BIOS, you can fine-tune the HDMI settings, but it is possible that the
USB keyboard or Mass Storage devices will not be available in the BIOS.
