KVM over IP · 4K30 · Pre-release
WarpKVM 02
Built for the rack: the same capture pipeline and open firmware as the flagship in a black injection-molded enclosure made for datacenter deployments. Captures and encodes 4K at 30 Hz, with the local HDMI out at 1080p 60. Same latency target, same I/O, same mesh stack.

Capabilities
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.
Standalone or casting
Works as a standalone console, or as a casting device: 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.
Same mesh stack
Native Tailscale, zero open ports, end-to-end encrypted. One tailnet for the whole fleet.
BIOS-level control
Reboot, re-image, change boot order. 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.
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.
×1
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.
×1
The living-room TV
Casting mode: HDMI out to the big screen, your gaming rig from the couch.
×1
A server in the homelab
Headless by design, never out of reach. Rescue a wedged box without leaving bed.
×∞
A datacenter
Daisy-chained Ethernet, one tailnet, multi-device view. The whole fleet in one pane.
