Pioneer VSW-1

Description

The VSW-1 is simple in its design and extremely easy to use, ensuring that DVJs are able to mix audio/video content from separate sources without relying upon multiple independent devices or needing another artist in the DVJ booth.

This Video Switcher gives performers more freedom in the mix because they can automatically switch video sources (by pressing the red "Auto" button) when using the familiar Fader Start capability found in all of Pioneer's Pro DJ mixers.

The VSW-1 video switcher gives top DVJs the flexibility they need to take full advantage of Pioneer's revolutionary PIONEER DVJ-X1

When Pioneer Pro DJ announced the PIONEER DVJ-X1, the world's first digital video turntable, video source switching required multiple independent devices or more than one VJ to operate the system. Today Pioneer announces the release of the first video switcher specifically designed with DJs and VJs in mind.

Incorporating the already familiar faderstart capability of Pioneer Pro DJ mixers and players, the VSW-1 gives the DJ more freedom and flexibility in the mix.

At first glance it is apparent how simple the VSW-1 really is. The face of the unit has a red "Auto" button and 2 large illuminated buttons, styled after the Play / Cue buttons of the DVJ-X1. The switcher can be used to either manually switch between sources by pressing the corresponding button, or automatically when using the faderstart on the audio mixer.

This video switcher accepts all video connections (component, composite and S-Video) in both PAL and NTSC formats, although the VSW-1 does not convert from one format or connection type to another for output. A Video Sync connection with the DVJ-X1 is used for a professional flicker-free video source transition.

Pioneer offers a limited one-year warranty for Pro Audio products purchased from authorized dealers.
