ABSTRACT
WHILE YOU’RE IN THE DJ MIX, YOU’LL NEED TO MIX
AND CUT THE VIDZ TOO. THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE –
SWITCHING FROM ONE VIDEO TO ANOTHER, THE
SAME AS YOU WOULD WITH AUDIO – BUT THERE ARE
A FEW KEY DIFFERENCES.
Video gear for DVJs is still largely based on video
gear for television producers. That’s why many video
mixers have a big T-shaped fader where you might
expect a DJ-style crossfader. It’s called a T-bar. On a
big BBC video console, it’s heavy with a weighted pull
for slow, smooth transitions.
