  This one is particularly interesting because they spent the time to drastically improve the latency of the remote video. I'm interested if anyone has applied the same concept to vga capture instead of HDMI. A lot of servers only have vga available.

    TinyPilot author here. You can capture VGA using all the same tools by adding in a VGA to HDMI adaptor. I haven't measured the impact on latency, but a few users have confirmed that it works.[0] [0] https://github.com/mtlynch/tinypilot/issues/76#issuecomment-663791628 https://github.com/mtlynch/tinypilot/issues/76#issuecomment-...

    VGA capture has been solved for a long time by readily available products. You can get multi-port or single port units like the Lantronix Spyder. For the most part, HDMI has not had much of a solution. I suspect it’s because of the copy protection enforced by media companies combined with most sever companies moving to fully built-in management interfaces (e.g. IPMI, DRAC, etc.)

      Well, by similar, I meant sub $20 and already outputs motion jpeg. That as a single unit, for vga, doesn't exist as far as I can see.
