chauvet

Chauvet DV Wall HR
The DV Wall HR is designed for high-resolution graphics, including still image slide shows, animated GIFs, Flash animations, PowerPoint presentations, and even full-motion video. With an IP-65 water resistance rating, this unit is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, so it can entertain patrons on the dancefloor, in the bar, or out on the patio.

The DV Wall HR system is capable of rendering 16 million colors with a pixel pitch of 31mm, giving users the power to create vibrant, detailed displays. Each individual module features 2,304 LEDs (786 red, 786 green, 786 blue), but consumes under 200W – much less than conventional video displays. –JL

edirol

Edirol V-440HD
The V-440HD video mixer accepts both standard definition and high definition video sources, giving users to seamlessly mix and switch multi-format video signals: up to four SD video and four HD or RGB video sources at the same time. The unit is perfect for venues that aren’t ready to ditch existing SD gear in favor of all-new HD cameras, switchers, and displays.

To compensate for color and luminance differences between formats, the V-440HD allows operators to preview the output and adjust brightness, contrast, hue, and color for consistent, quality video. The mixer also boasts a traditional fader bar for smooth transitions, as well as a variety of built-in wipes and effects. –JL

high end

High End Systems Axon Media Server
The Axon is a rackmount media server featuring the same graphics engine as the High End Systems DL.2 digital light fixture. The unit can be used to feed video to LED panels or large format projectors, and comes complete with a stock digital library of more than 1,000 media clips, as well as 200 available folders for custom media clips.

Like the DL.2, the Axon features Collage Generator and Curved Surface Support functions, but it allows users to choose their own output devices. All of the unit’s stock content is locked down and protected, so operators always have a safe supply of eye candy. The XP Embedded Operating System also protects Axon from drive corruption and O/S degradation over time. –JL

pioneer

Pioneer DJV-1000
The DVJ-1000 offers the same layout and operation as Pioneer’s popular CDJ-1000MK3, but with enhanced DVD capabilities. DJs can cue, scratch, and loop video as well as audio, using a familiar, proven interface.

The DVJ-1000 can be slotted into existing booth set-ups, and features MP3 compatibility, a brighter and larger display, and studio-quality 96 kHz/24-bit audio. New functions include 4X hyper jog mode and a back-and-forth loop button. The deck also plays both NTSC and PAL DVDs using a built-in standards converter, making it perfect for jet-setting international VJs. –JL
