V-LINK is a MIDI-based protocol that enables audio/musical devices and video devices to communicate with each other via simple connection resulting in expanded audio/visual applications.
V-LINK equipped devices allow creators to trigger video clips, perform video effects/transitions and wow audiences with real-time audio/video manipulation and creation. For example, controlling EDIROL video products from V-LINK compatible musical instruments allows musicians to perform visually while simultaneously playing an instrument. Further, the V-LINK function allows the EDIROL video mixer to control the RSS M-400 live audio mixer. This enables the correct audio source to follow the specific videos source thereby ensuring that the video and matching audio will always stay synchronized.
