Elemental Live 280 AE Video Encoder (one per sale) 2 available

Description

Elemental ® Live 280 AE series (1RU, 6 GigE ports, 16
HD-SDI or 8 3G-SDI inputs, LTC input)
Two Identical Units for sale. This auction is for one unit.  For both, select quantity 2.
It is very rare to see Elementals on eBay, and here we have a redundant pair available for sale (sold separately)!
Be up and running with your own full on professional encoders for half the price! These are popular for many reasons, they work great, are high performance machines, they are easy to operate, and they are reliable...rock solid.
We believe the Elemental is, hands-down, the best encoder in the business for the money...  Apparently Amazon agrees (as they purchased the company). :-)

The service contract expired just less than a year ago.  You can subscribe to a new service contract directly from Elemental (Amazon Elemental) or we will be happy to make an introduction to our Elemental representative, if you would like to purchase a support contract from them. The service contract gets you the latest functional updates (if any) in addition to typical updates.

Upon conclusion of non-BIN auction, the
winner must pay an initial "I am seriously buying this expensive equipment" payment of 25% of the purchase price IMMEDIATELY and the remaining balance must be paid in-full within five (5) business days
Paypal or whatever method eBay "authorizes".  If you want to use another method let us know prior to bidding/BIN action so we can take whatever steps needed to arrange a smooth and safe transaction (likely will require approval from eBay).
If you plan on picking it up in North Miami Beach, we are blessed by the eBay gods to arrange whatever payment we choose at that time, so contact us prior to purchase if your desired method is not cash/paypal or whatever eBay "allows" (unfortunately eBay does not appear to give a straight answer on this).
