- Gl.inet Comet Pro Remote KVM supports 4K Video Passhrough with a reactive interaction remotely
- The device feeds a PC remotely using accessories
- The 4K distance video passthrough maintains the smooth interaction at 30 images
Gl.inet, the company behind the comet (GL-RM1), an open source KVM remote control performing a Linux distribution, launched the Comet Pro Remote KVM, a device that allows total control of computers, workstations or servers entirely on Wi-Fi.
The crowdfunding of this project drew attention to Kickstarter, with more than 3,700 donors promising more than $ 600,000, ahead of its funding target of $ 10,000.
This small device is designed to provide what the company calls ultra-up latency performance and solid security.
Wireless video and connectivity performance
The idea is that anyone can help out, work or manage systems without being physically present.
The Comet Pro promises a gentle distance interaction by allowing 4k Passhrough at 30 images per second.
The system is based on H.264 coding to keep the latency in the beach of 30 to 60 milliseconds, which makes the remote control very reactive.
Unlike traditional solutions that are based on wired connections, the device supports Wi-Fi 6 Wi-Fi 6 to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz strips, reducing dependence on LAN wiring.
A tilting mechanism is also included, combining both Wi-Fi and Ethernet for more stability.
To make work at a distance more practical, the Comet Pro supports bidirectional audio communication via its HDMI or USB channels.
An integrated touch screen interface provides control over devices, such as network connections or activation of cloud services.
For software access, GL.INET offers an office application for Windows and MacOS which can manage several units.
In addition, a web control option on GLKVM.com extends access to Linux users.
Safety functions include two -factor authentication, equipment screen locking and the integrated support for Wireguard VPN.
For users who prefer independence of the services operated by suppliers, the self-heberged cloud control option is available.
The company will publish resources on Github to support deployment.
The device is also natively integrated into a tail scale, allowing distant connectivity even on systems outside of windows and macOS.
The Comet Pro can be associated with additional modules such as the ATX card and the fingers.
The ATX card allows users to start or manage a machine from a fully powered condition, while the Fingerbot accessory physically presses a power button when remote starting is necessary.
These tools are presented as practical for IT administrators or industrial operators who must recover or restart critical systems without delay.
While the campaign presents to the Comète Pro as “Revolutionary KVM remotely on Wi-Fi”, the broader adoption of such solutions often depends on how they operate in various real conditions.
