Correct me if I am wrong, but this doesn't seem to work for devkits? Like if I want to run something on a PS4 devkit, I can't use parsec for that, can I?

Yes, you can use Parsec for that.

The devkit software (has its own proprietary video streaming/control) would be on the on-site PC you are controlling remotely, using Parsec from anywhere, which would then control the PS4. Or you could use VPN from anywhere with the devkit software and connect remotely to the devkit directly.

The first scenario is ideal because you're only using Parsec (or RDP) from your personal device, whereas the second scenario would require installing the devkit software on your personal PC, which in my opinion it's not good to mix work/personal hardware. Your work might instead provide a computer to remote with, but I would rather keep work devices outside of my home network.

Parsec is very smooth and responsive, and it takes only 50mbps or less IIRC.

I'll definitely keep this in mind if I end up going back to the industry. Thanks!
