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.
