Numark NuVJ mixing Audio and Video simultaniously  Add your News

NuVJ
The NuVJ allows DJs to incorporate images and video clips in much the same way as mixing music. With the NuVJ, the VJ can trigger images and video clips, add effects to them, mix them through an onboard DJ style crossfader and tweak them in order to create unique and spectacular shows. The hardware controller works seamlessly with existing DJ gear and the software is compatible with most computers and laptops. The NuVJ is simply easier, better and more affordable than any other VJ product on the market.

Numark and Arkaos have combined forces
With its time-tested legacy of innovation, Numark has leveraged its ability to match its highly recognized hardware expertise with Arkaos’ visual software prowess.  Together, Numark and Arkaos have created a powerhouse video controller, NuVJ, that invites any DJ (Disc Jockey) to instantly transform into a multimedia VJ (Video Jockey). The software is compatible with a Mac or a PC.

The results of the Numark and Arkaos strategic partnership could be seen in person at Musikmesse 2006 (Halle 5.1 A26) in Frankfurt, Germany on March 30 through April 1, 2006.  Of particular note, the new product—known as the NuVJ Video Controller—is completely unique to both companies. Officials of Numark and ArKaos were quick to point out that the NuVJ is an entirely new product offering that capitalizes on the strengths of both companies and is designed as a video counterpart to a DJ’s existing audio setup.


Numark CEO John E. "Jack" O’Donnell commented, “Numark has a proven track record of innovation in the DJ market and is always looking for opportunities to further exploit the company’s strengths. By partnering with ArKaos—a leading innovator in the rapidly growing VJ market—I believe both companies have the opportunity to forge new, uncharted territories in a segment of the DJ market that is poised for explosive growth.”

ArKaos’ founder and CEO, Marco Hinic, concurs, “For over eight years, ArKaos has revolutionized the integration of visuals into the ever-evolving music scene. Our products are designed for displaying large visuals at concerts, in clubs, and other venues that cater to music performance. As the integration of sound and picture becomes more closely intertwined in the DJ’s performance arena, we believe the necessity for a dedicated hardware controller is more important than ever. By partnering with Numark, I am confident DJs will find the prospect of adding visuals to their performances easier and more appealing than ever.”
