Video Scratching Goes Mainstream 180
Boomzilla writes "Pioneer has released
a digital
audio and video turntable (the DVJ-X1), which allows you to manipulate and
playback synchronized digital audio and video. You can manipulate DVD visuals in
the same way as you would music i.e. real-time digital video scratches, loops
and instant cues. The video and audio streams will stay in sync, even when
they're being reversed and pitched. I guess this is the logical, commercialized
version of that which has been
done before.
It's being
shown at CES, and there are several pictures on the official Pioneer site."

It has RAM, and a DVD drive. Therefore, it can be made to run Linux!

DVD's rotate at 1400+ RPM.
I can picture earnest, stern-faced VJ's sucking on burnt fingertips.

And, yeah, I know I'm responding seriously to a light-hearted joke post. Bad habit.
