Just been watching this review <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyEpshm16HY> of the TinyPilot KVM-over-IP box. It’s purchasable from the maker’s website for US$300-plus, which is a fraction of the price of most other KVM-over-IP products. It’s built around a Raspberry π 4, using the camera adapter for HDMI in (no use made of the GPIO connector at all). Of course this means it can only support a connection to a single server machine. The source code is on GitHub if you want to build that yourself. The base product offers insecure HTTP-only access; if you want HTTPS, you have to pay extra for the TinyPilot Pro software licence. For comparison, some reader comments mention an alternative “PiKVM” product -- has anyone heard of this?
