==Overview==
==Features==
* Designed especially for PiKVM ( Raspberry Pi based KVM over IP)
* For use with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB
* Fully compatible with PiKVM OS (refer to user manual)
* <span style="color:red;">Only compatible with '''PiKVM V3 OS''', NOT support '''V4'''</span>
'''Note:'''
:<span style="color:red;">Please use the supplied USB Type-C to USB 2.0 A-Male Cable only. USB-C to USB-A cable only with DATA lines (for keyboard and mouse emulation)and no power supply, Using other cable might cause instability or damage to either the host PC or the Pi.
:We need to ensure you isolate the 5v connection between the Raspberry Pi and host PC to prevent backpower issues that can cause instability or damage to either the host PC or the Pi.
===Enable RTC ===
<span style="color:red;">Only need to configure the RTC function for the X630-A3 V1.5/V1.3/V1.2 version, X630 -A3 V1.6 don't need.</span> 
Due to different RTC chips with official PiKVM hardware, you still need to '''configure RTC''' to make RTC work normally.
* You can post a issue ticket at [https://geekworm.com/community/forum/topic/78220/pikvm-faq Geekworm forum] or email to us (support@geekworm.com) and attached your installation pictures or videos to get some help.

<summary>Why the device does not show the video only display <b><span class="tb_red">No Signals</span></b>?</summary>
<ul><li>Double-check that the video capture device is connected correctly and tightly. For the CSI bridge, this should be exactly the camera port;</li>
<li>Some laptops do not output any signal until you switch the output (usually via the FN + and an F5 key on the keyboard).</li>
<li>Your computer maybe enter sleep mode, please exit sleep mode</li>
<li>If your desktop only has a VGA display port, there may be no video signal when you use <b>VGA to HDMI adapter</b>, and there is no way to solve this; However, you can try to lower the resolution and restart the PC to test, but the probability of success is very low.</li>
