Video for DJs from Serato
January 17, 2008
Serato Audio Research introduce a smart way of adding video content to a DJ's performance and it's called "Video-SL". Serato Scratch LIVE can now host this powerful new performance plug-in, which enables DJs to perform a show with added visual content.
Video-SL DJ's can control video and audio stored in their computer with vinyl control records or CDs, and then tweak a range of cool transitions and effects with the unique control layout of the Rane TTM 57SL mixer. Video-SL has been built from the ground up to be tightly integrated with the TTM 57SL to provide a seamless all-in-one video mixing solution.
Initial support is limited to the Rane TTM 57SL mixer as it can provide the realtime control and integrated audio and video crossfading that Video-SL requires. As the feature set of Video-SL expands in future releases, Serato will introduce support for other models of hardware.
Recognizing that not all DJ's wish to play video, Serato have chosen to release Video-SL as a separate plug-in to Scratch LIVE. Scratch LIVE provides the library management and audio video synchronization, and the Video-SL plug-in provides the graphics engine and clip displays.
Modern portable computers are equipped with powerful graphics cards that can deliver high performance video acceleration. DJs can now use these computers to add video, without the need to buy or carry any specialist video hardware. Video-SL enables a DJ to add this extra dimension to a performance without compromising the reliability of Scratch LIVE.
At most you might need a cable and a modern computer to deliver up to and beyond HD quality. "We've had a huge display of interest from DJs that haul special disk players, video mixers and equipment to add an extra dimension to their set. We're excited to be entering the visual realm, and to be arming DJs with more choice of formats and content. We can't wait to see and hear how DJs use it!" reports General Manager, Sam Gribben.
Serato Video-SL is distributed by Rane Corporation, and in stores where ever Scratch LIVE is available. A demonstration version and more information is available from www.serato.com
