Description

The pi might be a little underpowered for multiple simultaneous KVM sessions, but it would be nice to be able to attach more than one HDMI capture device and then connect to whichever one was desired at a particular moment by using multiple instances of tinypilot running on the same host (whether PI or other).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how one tinypilot instance selects and exposes its HDMI capture device, then determine how multiple instances on one host would be configured and addressed. Done means distinct capture devices can be attached and users can connect to the desired target.
