System Overview
Introduction
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.
