If you have a cheap laptop and you realize you can’t connect a second monitor to it, what do you do? Well, if you are [Pierre Couy], you grab a Raspberry Pi and put together a virtual screen solution.
Like all good projects, this one started with some goals and requirements:
- Low latency
- Redable text
- At least 10 frames per second
- Fast catch up if the remote screen falls behind
- Low-bitrate encoding; no hardware acceleration
- A DHCP server on the Pi to manage the network
- Power control for the attached monitor
