<htmlhtmL><details><summary>Q. Why the device does not show the video only display <b><span class="tb_red">No Signals</span></b>?</summary><ul><li>Please check the hardware connection. 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>Make sure you use the <span class="tb_red">original HDMI</span> port. If your desktop only has a VGA display port, there may be no video signal when you use VGA to HDMI adapter, 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><li>Change the HDMI cable to test.</li><li>Test the X630 separately to check if there is HDMI output.</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></ul></details>

<summary>Q: Will there will be a case for KVM-A4?</summary>
A: No, there is no plan to make a case for KVM-A4, the KVM-A4 kit can only use WiFi NOT ethernet, the match metal case will block the WiFi singal.
