Connection

How It Works

  • The mini-KVM captures the screen stream from the target computer and displays it on the app on the host computer.
  • Users can move the mouse to the app window on the host and start controlling the mouse cursor of the target device, similar to VNC, operating two systems simultaneously on one screen.
  • When the app is focused, whatever users type via the keyboard on the host is also transmitted to the target device.
  • Keyboard and mouse inputs in the app are converted into Human Interface Device (HID) control signals for the target computer.
  • The app synchronizes the target computer’s screen and cursor with the display of the host computer.

Open Source Hardware

Openterface Mini-KVM is built on open hardware and utilizes open-source host software, ensuring transparency and flexibility. Stay tuned for more information and documentation, available on our website.
