the Pioneer DVJ-1000 allows DJs to easily create and add visuals to their sets. Several groundbreaking features enhance its core CDJ-1000MK3 capabilities, plus you can manipulate DVD visuals as you would music; so digital video scratches, loops and instant cues are all possible. DJs can perform audio-only sets while having the option to mix DVD with a powerful and versatile range of effects on hand. The best of both worlds. The DVJ-1000 can be slotted into existing booth setups, making it a logical purchase for clubs looking for a high-quality CD deck with the future in mind. Speaking of visual artistry, research shows that around 70% of clubs and 60% of music bars are installing visual equipment, so there's a definitive need in the market for creating imaginative and engaging visual sets. All the more reason to step up to a DVD turntable. Additional features include MP3 compatibility (with an intuitive navigator), a brighter and larger WAVE display, studio-quality 24-bit/96kHz audio and several innovations like 4X hyper jog mode and a back-and-forth loop button. The DVJ-1000 offers the standard features and enhanced specification of the CDJ-1000MK3, allowing DJs to easily add visuals to their sets. It includes 'JOG feeling adjustment' that tailors the deck to performers' individual styles and retains the familiar look and feel of the CDJ-1000MK3 with pitch control, cues and loops executed in the same intuitive fashion. Formats and MP3 Navigation The deck supports CD (CD-R/RW) and DVD (DVD-R/RW) media and performers who work with DVD in Europe and the States will value the convenience of built-in PAL/NTSC compatibility. The DVJ-1000 sets a new benchmark for music portability--up to 1,000 MP3 tracks can be accessed on DVD-ROM--and provides the most advanced deck for working with this ever-popular format. When connected to a preview monitor, the MP3 Navigator makes track selection a breeze: the information is displayed on a larger screen, DJs can search for music by file and up to eight subfolders (for example, genre of music, artist, track) and seven lines of text are available. For ease, a cursor button is included on the deck to scroll through and select files. Track information DJs also receive more information from the Preview Output Display. This enhanced feature provides an extensive dashboard (through a preview monitor) that displays key information for DVD, CD and MP3 including: DVD content, WAVE, title, artist, album, main cue points and three hot cue points. The DVJ-1000 retains the recent display improvements to the CDJ-1000MK3. The 360-degree On-Jog Display is improved by being raised on the wheel and lit fluorescently, the cue marker is larger and the 45-degree angle marks make it easier for scratch DJs to time their effects. The track display's resolution has been doubled and the lighting is multicolor and fluorescent, while the WAVE data and playing address data encompass a complete track. Studio quality sound With its 24-bit/96kHz audio, studios, producers and artists who have the option of outputting their tracks in optimum clarity will use the DVJ-1000. Connected to Pioneer's digital chain of mixers and effectors, the DVJ-1000 delivers unparalleled audio quality. Another feature that appeals to music professionals is Pioneer's Legato Link Pro.
