    Just as an FYI, here are some items I use that work with TinyPilot:

    Greathtek 4-port KVM switch: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J3W2JYZ/

    Port 1: Optiplex 9020; port 2: Optiplex 9020; port 3: PowerEdge T30; port 4: Monoprice 4x1 HDMI switch (see below)

    DisplayPort to HDMI cables for the computers: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08J3W2JYZ/

    Monoprice 4x1 HDMI switch (this is plugged into port 4 of the Greathtek KVM): https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Blackbird-Switch-Toslink-Extractor/dp/B003L14WB8

    Port 2: Qotom mini PC (for pfSense); port 3: Chromecast 2020; port 4: Roku Ultra. The Qotom box is also connected to the K/M output of port 4 of the Greathtek KVM.

    I plan on trying to connect my Nikon dSLR to port 1. This looked very interesting: https://tinypilotkvm.com/blog/dslr

    I also use a HuTools 1x2 HDM switch to switch between sending the KVM signal to the TinyPilot and a monitor.

    No, I don't watch the Roku through the TinyPilot (that's what the 1x2 HDMI switch is for):

      Thanks for sharing! I've updated our KVM compatibility chart with your report:

      It looks like your Monoprice link actually points to the Greathtek KVM.

      You might be interested in the experimental/dslr branch to see the changes we made for that demo:

          Fixed. When I tried to get the link for the HuTools 1x2 HDMI switch, Amazon kept displaying the wrong item.
