KVM over IP · 4K60 · Pre-release
WarpKVM 01
Hardware-grade KVM-over-IP capturing 4K at 60 Hz. The WarpKVM software adds about 30 ms at 1080p60 with the WarpKVM app, and the 01 is built to beat that. Machined aluminum, native Tailscale mesh, open firmware end to end.

Capabilities
What it does.
Low latency, measured
About 30 ms added at 1080p60 with the WarpKVM app, measured with light sensors on the same software running on our DIY board. The 01's faster encoder is built to beat it. Remote stops feeling remote.
Standalone or casting
Drive a display straight from the HDMI out as a standalone console, or cast any machine on your mesh to whatever screen it's plugged into.
Tailscale mesh
Every WarpKVM is a node on your tailnet. No port forwarding, no VPN ceremony, end-to-end encrypted.
BIOS-level control
Reboot, re-image, change boot order. If it has HDMI and USB, you own it down to the firmware, pre-boot included.
USB injection
Keyboard, mouse, and mass-storage emulation. Mount an installer ISO over IP from a continent away.
Open end to end
Firmware, web console, and mobile apps are open source and auditable, with signed updates.

Scale
One node
or a thousand.
Every WarpKVM is a node on the same mesh. Start with a single machine and grow to a rack, a lab, a fleet. The architecture never changes; only the count does.

One computer
Your daily driver, yours from anywhere. BIOS to desktop, all of it.
×3
Three monitors
A node per head. Every display of the battlestation, captured and reachable.

The living-room TV
Casting mode: HDMI out to the big screen, your gaming rig from the couch.
