Pi-KVM: easy and cheap DIY KVM over IP with mouse, virtual drive, VNC and IPMI
- canada_dry 6y agoClever use of a "HDMI-to-CSI bridge" gizmo. It allows the pi to capture the HDMI signal from the target PC using it's built-in camera interface. Allowing for boot-up / bios viewing which standard VNC doesn't give you.
- X-Cubed 6y agoAnother similar Pi-based KVM is TinyPilot: https://mtlynch.io/tinypilot/ https://mtlynch.io/tinypilot/ The author was able to use the MJPEG output of the USB HDMI capture devices to get low latency video.
- zxcvgm 6y agoAccording to the blog post, TinyPilot also uses µStreamer (from this Pi-KVM project) to achieve its low latency. The initial revision of TInyPilot couldn't get low enough latency using the HDMI over IP extender otherwise. https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer
- mdevaev 6y agoI am the original author of the software that helped TinyPilot achieve this (MJPEG uStreamer) and I wrote it specifically for Pi-KVM :)
- Nexxxeh 6y agoThere was some great discussion on the Show HN for the similar project TinyPilot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23927380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23927380 It uses a Can'tLink: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=daS5RHVAl2U https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=daS5RHVAl2U
