Pioneer's flagship products are expected to be fully loaded and the DVJ-1000 doesn't disappoint. Features include: MP3 compatibility (with an intuitive navigator), a brighter and larger WAVE display, studio quality 96kHz/24-bit audio and several new innovations like 4x hyper jog mode and a back and forth loop button. It's a globetrotter too, playing both NTSC and PAL DVDs using a built-in standards converter. With the same operation and standard layout as the CDJ-1000MK3, DJs can perform audio-only sets while having the option to mix DVD with a powerful and versatile range of effects on hand.
"70% of clubs and 60% of music bars are installing visual equipment," comments Jason Pook, product development manager for Pioneer Europe. "The compact and affordable DVJ-1000 adds further impetus to this market. Its core CDJ-1000MK3 capabilities are enhanced by several groundbreaking features, while DVD visuals can be manipulated as you would music; so digital video scratches, loops and instant cues are all possible. It can be slotted into existing booth set-ups making the DVJ-1000 a logical purchase, fusing a high-quality CD deck with the future where visual artistry is becoming commonplace."
