For controlling servers without built-in graphics chipsets/cards, the display/console terminal is a rs232 serial port typically configured to run getty (linux). See :

The kvm already presents itself as a keyboard, mouse and storage device. Would be amazing if it also presented itself as an optional rs232 serial port. This is likely a non-trivial feature as the port traffic would need to rendered as such in the UI as a serial terminal vs hdmi traffic renderer ...
Just dreaming .. the device is amazing either way ! Well done !
