Requirements

To use PiKVM v3, you will need the following things, which are NOT included in the kit:

  • Raspberry Pi 4 (any amount of RAM is OK)
  • 5.1v 3A power supply with USB-C
  • A regular HDMI cable
  • USB-C to USB-A cable with DATA lines (for keyboard and mouse emulation)
  • Straight Ethernet cable (NOT crossover, to connect the HAT board and ATX board)
  • Micro-SD card at least 16 Gb and class 10 is strongly recommended
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.
