* **Don't use random relay modules or random optocouplers!** Some relays or optocouplers may not be sensitive enough for the Raspberry Pi, some others may be low-level controlled. Either use relays that are activated by a high logic level, or follow the design provided and buy an OMRON. See details [here](https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/issues/13).

- ❗No:exclamation:, the max bus lanes the Pi provides, is not enough to support anything faster than 30 FPS. Your better off looking at other solutions for this.
- ❗No:exclamation:, PiKVM does not capture and transmit audio at this time. The developers have indicated that this may be available for the v3 hat at some point in the future, but it is not a priority for development at this time.

### Can this do 4K?
- For the CSI Bridge, ❗No:exclamation:. there is not enough bandwidth in the CSI bus for that much data. 1080p50 will max out the bandwidth
- For the USB capture devices: Technically yes, but they will downsample to something smaller to meet the usb2.0 bandwidth limitations, so the source may be 4k, but the stream will not.

### Why are you using Arch Linux?
- The developer was more familiar with Arch Linux so this was chosen as the base operating system. As a Linux distribution, it has more in common than not with other distributions.
<br/><br/>
As an appliance, users are not expected to interact with the host operating system often, if at all. There are some distribution-specific differences, by default networking is done using either systemd-networkd or netctl but NetworkManager can be used as a replacement if one prefers.

### Can I power the Pi via POE?
- Yes! But you will still need to ensure you isolate the 5v connection between the Raspberry Pi and host PC to prevent backpower issues that can cause instability or damage to either the host PC or the Pi. Power/Data cable + usb power blocker would work. Please see Variant #1 in the main getting started page for details.

As a first step, we recommend carefully reading our documentation on [GitHub](https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm). Most steps to successfully set up your PiKVM are already described there. If you run into any issues you can check this page which will list common errors. If that still doesn't help you you're welcome to raise an [issue ticket](https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/issues) or [join our Discord](https://discord.gg/bpmXfz5) for further help.
