Do you have plan to integrate it to HC3? If yes, so maybe do you know when?
I think you should ask that on the forum at eyezon.com. I guess my own Envisalink has the name "EVL4-CG". What Delton is I really don't know.
@Per-Olov Sjöholm Thank you for your fast feedback. Just a question. Can I use also the DELTON EnvisaLink4 EVL-4CG as well ? I don't find in our market the EnvisaLink EVL-4EZR. Thx
Sorry for the messy post below. The market place comment section is not good as you cannot use tabs, empty lines, bold or anything. Hope it is readable anyway... :)
Hi Deivydas Jurčiukonis. I don't know anything about HC3 yet. At the moment I do not know if I will buy one. If Virtual devices will work on HC3, maybe the current DSCengine will work out of the box. As HC3 is on the market, maybe someone could enlighten me...
