USB Adapter

Product No. 700-02-02

Converts a standard PC to a fully featured Mercury station with eight simultaneous IP audio channels. 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.
The operator interface can take the form of a virtual control panel on the PC or a dedicated hardware panel positioned next to the operator. Alternatively the card can be controlled using third party software via an API connecting on the sockets layer. A port is provided allowing the connection of an external Mercury control panel if required, and two (2) GPIs and two (2) GPOs are provided, allowing easy use with PTT switches.
