Most conventional image mixing devices are limited to the simple mixing of two video images, but Pioneer’s own uniquely developed video blending technology makes it possible to simultaneously mix up to four channels of music and video. Since the synchro control allows the use of fader and equalizers with each channel, a new, wider range of performances is possible with the sensation of using conventional DJ mixers.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

•Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

•When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth, separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve heat radiation.

Cleaning the Unit

•Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

•When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

•Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.

“AV Effects” support a wide variety of new performance styles by synchronizing music and video.

Equipped with AV Effects that synchronize music effects and video effects on the large 11-inch LCD touch panel display, allowing up to 30 types of effects to be applied to your music and images.

1Beat effect: Automatically detects the tempo of the currently playing track, and applies effects to music and image in synch with the beat.

2Touch effect: By directly touching the image displayed on the large LCD touch panel, effects can be applied to music and video more intuitively.

3Text effect: Text messages created in synchronization with the automatically detected track tempo can be displayed with effects. Text messages can be entered either by the built-in keyboard or a common USB keyboard.

“JPEG VIEWER” allows use of images stored in external memory for live performances

Up to eight JPEG files saved on SD memory cards or USB memory devices can be downloaded and used as a still image sampler. By applying effects or mixing with other videos and images such as the name of the DJ or event, or graphic logos, you can broaden the potential of your performance. Additionally, JPEG files can be loaded and displayed as an automatic slide show.

Digital sound/video system for high quality sound and image

196 kHz/24-bit sampling digital system for high sound quality Analog signals input from a DJ player are passed through the shortest possible signal path and digitized using a high-fidelity A/D converter with 96 kHz/24-bit sampling, producing optimum quality for digital mixing. Mixing is performed by a 32-bit DSP to eliminate any degradation in sound quality, while simultaneously using ideal filtering to produce optimum sound for DJ play.

In order to realize the greatest possible response, the unit also features a high-rigidity chassis and double-shield construction to suppress unwanted vibrations that might adversely effect sound quality, together with a powerful power section and other high- fidelity technology, thus producing clear, powerful club sounds.

2 High-performance video IC digital system for high image quality

Video signals input through the high-performance ADC are processed through a high-performance video DSP rated at 600 MHz/32-bit/4800 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second), thus preserving the original image’s dynamic range while also suppressing unwanted noise and producing images with high fidelity and quality. The same high quality has also been realized for video effects that normally tend to be a source of image degradation.
