Abstract

One example of an internet protocol (IP) keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) device includes a universal serial bus, a display port, a network port, and a processor. The USB port is to be communicatively coupled to a host device. The display port is to be communicatively coupled to the host device. The network port is to be communicatively coupled to a network. The processor is communicatively coupled to the USB port, the display port, and the network port. The processor is to receive, via the display port, a multi-stream transport (MST) DisplayPort signal; demux the MST DisplayPort signal to provide a plurality of individual video streams; and output, via the network port, each individual video stream.
