FAQ

A. No, one kit can only control one pc.

PiKVM OS does not support I2S, so it cannot be used yet.

Q: Why PiKVM-A3/A4 does not show the video?
A:
- Double-check that the video capture device is connected correctly and tightly. For the CSI bridge, this should be exactly the camera port;
- Some laptops do not output any signal until you switch the output (usually via the FN + and an F5 key on the keyboard).
- Your computer may have turned on sleep mode for the monitor. Move the mouse to turn it off.
