Virtual dj instructions manual

By default the Video Mixer displays a simple Single Source interface to provide visualizations when there is no video available to play. When a video gets loaded to a deck, the Video Mixer interface changes to a Dual-Source Mixing view which will change the Video Source menu to a Transitions menu. This window displays the Master Video Output. When enabled, a small external video window will open that can be used to monitor the video or it can be dragged to a second monitor and made full screen by double clicking it once in the desired position.

Right clicking on the the Video Preview will also open the Video Output Menu that can be used to customize the video display experience for both you and your audience. In Simple Video mode, the Video Source menu provides Audio Only Visualizations that can be selected when using a track selection with no video element. This ensures that there is always a visual on screen even when a video file is not available for playback.

By default VirtualDJ is equipped with the most commonly used sources: Cover VirtualDJ will display the album cover of the song playing Camera VirtualDJ will display a video feed from your computer's camera or external webcam Shader VirtualDJ will display animated visualizations Shaders. A short list of Shaders are included, but more can be added.

Timecode Modes VirtualDJ supports the two main timecode modes as found in most timecode systems. Pitch change and Sync from the software are not allowed in this mode. VirtualDJ still responds to pitch changes and scratches when performed from the timecode player but not in loops and HotCues. However Sync, loops and hot cues work perfectly when performed from the software. The Smart mode is the default and preferred mode in VirtualDJ because it combines the best of the absolute and relative modes.

VirtualDJ responds to playback position changes needle drop , pitch changes, scratch, Sync, HotCues and Loops when performed from either the timecode player or the software.

Starting the timecode from the beginning also restarts the loaded track in VirtualDJ. Unless there are specific needs, smart mode should be the preferred mode for most users. VirtualDJ allows up to 8 Timecode inputs and timecode controlled decks at the same time if the audio card has the required inputs and outputs channels.
