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. Upcoming software features The audio capture device via HDMI works, but is not currently supported by PiKVM software. The fan controller operates at a constant speed, but will learn to adjust the speed smoothly in the future. Currently, MJPEG is used for video transmission, but you will soon get H.264 support. All of these features will be available in one of the future free updates of the operating system.
