JetKVM OS Services

Your JetKVM, with help from the computer

A small service for the target computer, the one your JetKVM is plugged into. It adds what a video cable cannot carry: 4K video, copy and paste, file transfer and a terminal.

For Windows, macOS and Linux

Video up to 4K at 60 fps

The service captures and encodes the screen on the target computer, so the picture is no longer limited by the capture hardware.

1. Drain the node and wait for the pods to move.
2. Update the firmware from the vendor ISO.
3. Reboot and check the boot order in the BIOS.

Copy and paste, both ways

Paste text into the target computer and copy text from it. The JetKVM no longer types it out key by key.

Send a file

Drop a file in the browser and it is copied to the target computer over the USB cable.

A terminal on the target computer

Open a shell on the target computer inside the JetKVM web interface. It needs no SSH server and no network on that computer.

Set up in three steps

You do all of it in the JetKVM web interface, in the session you already have open.

  1. Step 1

    Open your JetKVM

    Enter the IP address of your JetKVM in a browser, as you do to use it.

  2. Step 2

    Install from the settings

    Open Settings, then OS Services, and select Install. JetKVM guides you from there.

  3. Step 3

    Allow the pairing

    The service shows a fingerprint. Check that it matches the one in JetKVM, then select Allow.

Open source on GitHub

The code of the service is public.

Open, like the rest of JetKVM

The firmware, the web interface and the cloud are open source. The service on the target computer is too.

For JetKVM Mini, and soon for JetKVM

The service is free. It works with JetKVM Mini now, and comes to JetKVM soon.
