GRASS VALLEY Acappella 16x2 VIDEO Router

The Acappella line of small, single- and mixed-format routers is designed 
for myriad broadcast and production settings, including small studios, 
sports arenas, and space-constrained environments such as mobile produc-
tion trucks. The Acappella matrix frame is only 1 RU, and has a 14-inch 
(34.5 cm) depth for easy in-rack cabling.

The Acappella line supports local and remote control panels, via a built-in 
Ethernet connection. It also includes many control panel operational 
modes, such as destination gang, chop, panel enable, and destination pro-
tect.

An Acappella router comes ready to operate right out of the box—just plug 
it in and you can get right to work. It also supports Web browser based con-
figuration for fast, easy customization.

An Acappella router and remote control panels can also be integrated into 
a Grass Valley Prelude or Encore routing system. This manual covers stand-
alone Acappella systems. Refer to the separate Prelude and/or Encore doc-
umentation sets for system integration information.
