I want to use Mapp-View in a project, which was supposed to use VC4. It uses an APC2200 with SDL4 connected Panel. Do I need an additional device to run the browser or is there any way to render it on the APC and display it directly on the panel ? ---

You should be able to use the APC2200 in Hypervisor mode. This would require the purchase of Hypervisor and OS licenses. [Automation Help: Hypervisor](https://help.br-automation.com/#/en/6/automationruntime/targets/hypervisor/hypervisor.html) ---

Hi Tommi, thanks for the idea. We can’t use Hypervisor in our machine. We decided to upgrade the panel to a panel PC.
