UK - On Sunday 12 September, the first day of the PLASA show at Earls Court, Pioneer promises to provide an audio-visual experience like you've never seen before! A line-up of DVJs including VJ Kreil and James Zabiela will be performing live in Pioneer's DJ Booth, offering a spectacular live performances on Pioneer's new DVJ-X1. Combining Pioneer's world-famous CD Jog Dial technology with the flexibility and capacity of DVD, the DVJ-X1 looks just like the company's own CDJ-1000MK2 CD player - and has the same functionality - with the added capacity to playback DVDs as well as CDs. Crucially, DVJs will also be able to use the DVJ-X1 to manipulate DVD visuals in exactly the same way as they would music, so real-time digital video scratches, loops and instant cues are all possible, while the video and audio streams always stay in perfect sync, even when they're being reversed and pitched. This new Pioneer unit works with all established CD formats as well as DVDs, crossing the boundaries between the once-separate audio and video domains, say Pioneer.
