Pioneer Electronics announced its new DVJ-X1 digital audio and video turntable, which allows users to manipulate and playback synchronized digital audio and video.

DJs will be able to use Pioneer's new unit to manipulate DVD visuals in the same way as they would music. So real-time digital video scratches, loops and instant cues are all possible with the DVJ-X1, while the video and audio streams stay in sync, even when they're being reversed and pitched. The DVJ-X1 brings together existing A/V technologies into a single unit that interfaces with currently available software and hardware.

The DVJ-X1 offers onboard memory capacity and a SD Card slot similar to the CDJ-1000MK2 for flexibility in performance. This allows for A/V loops and cue points to be stored either onboard or on a removable memory card. A memory card that is bundled with the DVJ-X1 can store up to 500 loop or cue points. During playback, the saved cue and loop points can be searched, selected and previewed using an external preview monitor. An emergency loop automatically loops four beats seamlessly. Pioneer will offer a video switcher to interface with the Fader Start function of many professional audio mixers.

I just saw it at guitar center today. There was a small screen connected to it so you could try it out. All I can say is.... hours and hours of endless fun, even with just a single DVD and zero mixing. I haven't laughed out loud like that so much in a store in a very long time. Scratching back and forth at varying speeds while someone is making a hand guesture, or even nodding their head, is a lot more fun than it sounds. wow.

too bad it's $2899.
