PCI Card (Full-Length)

Product No. 700-00-02

Converts a standard PC to a fully featured Mercury station. The card provides Mercury communication processing as well as the necessary audio connectors for mic/line in/line out. This allows the PC's own audio facilities to be used for other purposes without interfering with the communication functionality provided by the Mercury system. Virtual panel software can be used to provide a control surface. Alternatively the card can be controlled using third party software via an API connecting on the Windows socket layer. Two (2) GPIs and two (2) GPOs are provided, allowing easy use with PTT switches.
