No mention of chroma sub-sampling for either pikvm (M-JPEG) or tinypilotkvm (H.264).

I have an Apple Pro Display XDR and it's just not worth the hassle trying to use it with Linux or Windows machines. Instead, I plan to use an HDMI capture device to get 1080p windows on a Mac. OBS's [guide](https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/capture-card-document...) shows some devices that capture RGB at 1080p60 like the $170 AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra (GC553) and $300 Magewell XI100DUSB-HDMI. Uncompressed 24bpp x 1920 x 1080 x 60 is almost 3 megabits/second, so OK for USB SS, but not great for networking over a distance, but my application doesn't need remote.

Would NDI (https://www.ndi.tv/ ) work or am I not understanding your requirement?

It's around 200mbps for 60Hz 1080p but if you are just going from a local PC to a local mac it won't matter much
