The Artist Virtual Panels allow a regular computer to be used as a control panel in combination with any Artist digital matrix intercom system. The communication between the matrix and the virtual panel is handled via the VoIP-108 G2 client card. Computers running the Virtual Panel can be integrated via a wired or a wireless Ethernet connection into the matrix. The panels provide 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.
