The Artist VCP-1004 Virtual Panel allows a regular computer to be used as an intercom control panel in combination with any Artist digital matrix intercom system. Computers running the Virtual Panel can be integrated via a wired or a wireless Ethernet connection into the matrix. The communication between matrix and virtual panel is realized via the VoIP-108 G2 client card. The Artist VCP-1004 Virtual Panel features four talkkeys and a shift-key to double the number of available keys. The panel provides the same signalization as regular Artist 1000 series control panels. The user operates the Virtual Panel with the computer‘s keyboard and mouse. The panel‘s audio input and output is implemented with the audio-interface of the computer. The Virtual Panel is set up via Artist‘s control and configuration software Director.
