JetKVM Releases JetKVM Mini, a Compact and Affordable KVM Device
Key points
- JetKVM Mini is available in wired ($39) and wireless ($42) versions.
- It provides native 1080p video capture and USB keyboard/mouse control.
- The device uses an ESP32-P4X microcontroller for simplified architecture.
- Its compact aluminum case measures 42 × 42 × 23 mm.
Introduction of JetKVM Mini
JetKVM has introduced the JetKVM Mini, a new, more compact, and affordable version of its KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) device. The Mini comes in two models: the JetKVM Mini with Ethernet connectivity priced at $39, and the JetKVM Mini W, which includes wireless capabilities, priced at $42. Bulk purchases of three units reduce the per-unit cost to $33 and $36, respectively.
Core Functionality and Design
The JetKVM Mini retains the core functionalities of the standard JetKVM, offering native video capture at 1080p (up to 4K with JetKVM OS Services), USB control for keyboard and mouse, and access to the same web interface, cloud services, and updates. Its aluminum case measures 42 × 42 × 23 mm, providing a small footprint. The device is designed to be an affordable KVM solution for individual machines.
Connectivity Options
The JetKVM Mini features an RJ45 port for wired Ethernet connectivity, requiring an Ethernet, video, and USB cable connection to the target computer. The JetKVM Mini W model replaces the RJ45 port with a 2.4 and 5 GHz radio for wireless connectivity, suitable for machines where cabling is impractical. Setup for the wireless model is performed via Bluetooth from a browser on a phone or laptop.
Technical Architecture
The Mini's architecture is simplified, utilizing an ESP32-P4X microcontroller. This chip handles video capture, H.264 encoding, USB functions, and the JetKVM firmware, eliminating the need for separate DRAM and eMMC components typically found in Linux-based systems. The Mini W also incorporates an ESP32-C5 for wireless capabilities, supporting IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax on 2.4 and 5 GHz, Bluetooth LE, and IEEE 802.15.4 for Zigbee and Thread. Video is captured at 1080p at 30 fps or 720p at 60 fps, encoded on-chip, and streamed via WebRTC.
USB and Virtual Media
The device includes two USB ports. One connects to the target computer, operating at USB 2.0 High Speed (480 Mbps), providing keyboard, mouse, and virtual media functionality, and drawing power from the connected machine. Virtual media can be loaded from a TF Card inserted into a dedicated slot on the side of the device.
