The Grass Valley Acappella A1616RCP is a 1RU rackmount remote control panel. This is designed for Acappella multi-format routers / switchers designed for a variety of broadcast and production settings, including small studios, sports arenas, and mobile production trucks. The compatible Acappella routers have various configurations ranging from 8x4 to 16x16 with formats including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and AES/EBU digital audio. This remote panel can be linked directly to the router with a crossover ethernet cable for a simple local configuration. If you want a more complex setup, you can use a pin-to-pin patch ethernet cable if you are using switches between the router, panel, and PC. Software can be used for complex custom confiruations such as Acappella Matrix, Acappella Remote Panel, and NetConfig (software is not included). You can also deploy the Prelude control system to support larger networks of Acappella and Concerto Series routing matrix.

But overall is reasonably clean and presentable. This was tested locally using a crossover ethernet cable between this and an Acappella router, to ensure proper functionality of hardware. All buttons on this remote control panel operate normally and route the appropriate inputs/outputs successfully.

Ebay's About Me page
The following pertains to our listing terms and conditions. Please read so there is no surprises as to the total cost of your item or any of our polices:
Q. How much will I owe for sales tax?
A. With the current marketplace facilitator laws, Ebay is now responsible for collecting and remiting all applicable sales tax on this platform. It is no longer the reponsibility of third party sellers, so any questions regarding sales tax must be directed to Ebay. Note that many states are now mandating sales tax when making purchases from major online marketplaces such as Ebay, even if it is shipping from an out of state seller. Please check your local laws and the “shipping and payments” tab to understand your sales tax obligations on purchases. If you are a tax-exempt buyer (such as a reseller), you need to obtain tax exempt status through Ebay. We do not have the authority anymore to remove sales tax; only Ebay can do that if buyer qualifies. Please contact Ebay for any sales tax questions or issues.
Q. Why should I buy from The Broadcast Baron?
A. Rest easy knowing your gear will arrive to you in tip-top shape. We are an experienced seller specializing in broadcast/professional audio and video equipment. Every piece of gear is thoroughly assessed and repaired/maintained as needed. We even clean the items cosmetically, so they look their very best upon arrival. If the rare piece of gear arises that we are not familiar enough with to test or repair properly, service of the item will be outsourced to qualified broadcast technicians or the item will be clearly marked as untested. If any flaws remain at the time the item is listed, they will be fully disclosed so there is no surprises. We believe in customer service and will patiently answer all your questions. We value our reputation and want you to leave happy, knowing you got a great value for your money. We strive to achieve a level of customer satisfaction where The Broadcast Baron name comes to mind whenever you are looking for a piece of equipment - and you are eager to refer us to your friends!
Q. What kind of warranty is offered?
A. All items include a 30 day warranty from date of delivery. Domestic returns are free unless the buyer causes the item to arrive back in worse condition than it was received (abuse, damage, tampering, modification, removal/replacement of parts, significant usage added, etc). We reserve right to issue a partial refund in the above “buyer fault” scenarios corresponding to the severity of the issue. Return shipping cost is paid by seller for domestic returns. International returns are for item not as described only and cost paid by buyer. A partial refund, replacement, or repair is possible as alternative to return, at the agreement of both parties. Item must be returned packaged well in the same manner sent so it arrives back safely. Refund issued by same method as payment. A free copy of our full warranty terms/conditions can be obtained upon request.
Q. What happens if the gear arrives with shipping damage?
A. The Broadcast Baron takes meticulous care in packaging the items it ships and each item will be fully insured. However, in the unlikely event that shipping damage or loss does occur, you will not be held financially responsible.  Regardless of whether the shipping company eventually pays us or not on the insurance claim, we honor the 30 day warranty. We would only ask that you fully cooperate with the insurance claim and save all the original packaging.
Q. Do you sell to international buyers?
A. Yes, but not every item we sell can ship to every country. Please look at ebay's shipping and handling section (below the auction) to see which countries each particular item can be shipped to.
Q. How much is domestic shipping?
A. For most items, free shipping (including insurance) via FEDEX ground or USPS priority is included in the purchase price to any of the 48 states. Please take note if a particular item specifies free shipping or not. If you need anything faster, you will be responsible for the additional cost. Feel free to contact us for an express service shipping quote. Express shipping can also be billed to your own UPS/FEDEX/DHL account if you prefer.
Q. How much is international shipping (including Alaska and Hawaii)?
A. Buyer is responsible for actual shipping costs. Default shipping method to international locations is USPS express. Please use the USPS shipping calculator or contact us to get a shipping quote. USPS has different dimensional restrictions for different countries. It may turn out that your item, once packaged, is too large to use USPS service. Also, some items are too valuable to be able to be fully insured by USPS (also this varies by country). If this is the case, you will be given the option to use FEDEX instead and given an appropriate quote for FEDEX international costs. International shipping prices vary greatly depending on your location. Please contact us before bidding for a precise shipping quote and confirmation that the item meets the size/value requirements to go USPS. Please note that any customs charges, taxes, or duties levied by your country is your responsibility.
