If you have an Intel CPU, there is a good chance you have a KVM built-in (whether you wanted one or not): Intel AMT. Its reputation was tarnished by Intel's dissimulation and opacity about the technology, and a streak of critical vulnerabilities disclosed in late 2017. I chose to take my chances with it anyway for my homelab server. It is secured with a password, mutual TLS (client has to provide a cert), and restric…
All the servers I’ve ever bought came with iDRAC or something like it, which has KVM built in.

I’m interested too!

This would require a vPro CPU and compatible motherboard, right?
I have 4 of the old ones in service and they're great. Whenever I need to remotely reboot a server those come in handy just great, no more fear of what I'm going to do if the server doesn't come back online. It also solved the issue I had with entering a password on FDE (full disk encryption) systems. Previously I had to rely on a janky solution with booting into BusyBox so that the system can be accessed remotely an…
I like jetkvm a lot but the splitter with the dual USB-c’s is really, really finicky and will say it’s not connected for seemingly no reason. They don’t even send you all the cables you need (which I’m sorry, but jetkvm team if you’re reading this, that’s ridiculous) so you’re just kind of rotating through your pile until you find one that it arbitrarily accepts. Power in particular just refuses to work with many cab…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The practical answer for right now is that I don't want software screen capture, but it also does not do any of the things I wanted to be able to do by having remote inputs directed to the hardware rather than simulated in software. Namely it requires software installation on the server, which means OS support becomes a thing, you can't use it in BIOS/firmware, etc.
If you're like playing Apex/Valorant/PUBG/Dota and such, and scared that use of remote plays might get flagged, you could just use HDMI-in MPEGTS-out Ethernet capture streamer building scale HDMI extender thing(I don't know the actual categorical name). Inputs can be handled by a separate device, or just wireless keyboard/mouse. Note that if anti-cheat is a concern, common dev boards like Arduino Leonardo and Pi Pico…
As for dev boards, it wouldn't ever show up as a dev board to the PC, it would simply be simulating a dumb hardware keyboard. That's one of the reasons I wanted the board itself to have its own wired network.
Meh. The challenge is 4k+ at high display frequency that doesn't cost the same as a small boat. There are gazillions of KVM switches that do 1080. That's easy.
