WarpKVM 02
The workhorse. 4K 30 capture, 1080p 60 local out.
Built for the rack: the same capture pipeline and open firmware as the flagship, in a black injection-molded enclosure made for datacenter deployments. It captures and encodes 4K at 30 Hz, and its local HDMI out runs at 1080p 60. Same latency target, same I/O, same mesh stack.
Documentation coming soon
Setup guides, wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting for WarpKVM 02 are being written and will land here before it ships. The specifications below are current. If you need something specific in the meantime, get in touch.
What it does
- Same latency target. Runs the flagship's pipeline: about 30 ms added at 1080p60 with the WarpKVM app, measured on the same software.
- Hardware-encoded 4K30. Captures 4K and encodes H.264 or H.265 on-chip at up to 30 fps; the flagship's 4K 60 is the only capture spec it gives up.
- Standalone or casting. Works as a standalone console, or plug the HDMI out into a display and pull up any machine on your mesh. The local out runs at 1080p 60; the full-resolution path is the stream.
- BIOS-level control. The same pre-boot access as the flagship, down to the firmware.
- USB-C host emulation. Keyboard, mouse, and mass storage. Re-image a machine from anywhere.
