Note:

• The Raspberry Pi 4 is not included in the packing list.
• The X630 shield is required for the KVM-A8 kit, and the KVM-A8 (Without X630) is only available to those customers who have previously purchased the
  X630 shield.
• The X630-A8 of KVM-A8 kit does not support to use with other HDMI to CSI-2 module like C779/C790, only support X630.
• The X630-A1 plate has no use for the KVM-A8 installation, don't need to use X630-A1!!!

Geekworm Raspberry Pi-based KVM-Over-IP Family

Overview
KVM (https://pikvm.org/) is a very powerful and Open Source Software which allows for a remote connection via your Raspberry Pi to turn on/off or restart your computer, configure the UEFI/BIOS, and even reinstall the OS using the Virtual CD-ROM or Flash Drive. You can use your remote keyboard and mouse or KVM can simulate a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor, which are then presented in a web browser as if you were working on a remote system directly. It's true hardware-level access with no dependency on any remote ports, protocols or services!

The KVM refers to Keyboard Video Mouse.
