Hercules DJ Control Jogvision DJ Controller

Hercules DJ Control Jogvision

The Hercules DJ Control Jogvision DJ controller has a contactless infrared sensor, which allows the DJ to control effects in real time by simply varying the distance between his/her hand and the sensor. Placing your hand flat over the Infrared beam, the controller calculates the distance between the sensor and your hand. This is then converted into a gradual MIDI command which modulates a setting within the DJ software provided.

The Jogvision Air Control is able to function in both day light and low light conditions and able to function with all flesh tones. The only incompatibility is with the use of black gloves as the Infrared sensor is not able to detect the distance between the DJ's hand and the controller.

DJControl Jog Wheels with Built In Displays.

Up until now, DJ's have been forced to watch a computer screen in order to see at what speed a track is playing, how much time remains before the end of the track, or when scratching - to easily locate a scratch position. The dual displays on each of the DJ Control Jogvision's jog wheels replace all of this, giving the DJ all the information he/she needs on the controller.

The larger outer ring turns at the tracks playback speed, based on a speed of 33 1/3 rpm. While the smaller ring indicates the position of the cursor in the track and is split into 16 segments (1 illuminated segment = start of the track, 8 illuminated segments = middle of the track, 16 illuminated segments = end of the track). Whilst scratching, the larger ring shows the amount of angular displacement, allowing you to easily locate scratch positions.

8 Trigger Pads

The 2 sets of 4 trigger pads allow the DJ to trigger audio samples or jump from cue point to cue point, with just a simple tap of the pad. Variable-coloured backlighting shows you which command is assigned to each pad.

Audio Design For Mobile DJs

The DJ Control Jogvision lets the DJ enjoy high-quality sound everywhere; in the studio, at concerts, in clubs and whilst hosting events or parties with friends. Included in the controller is a built-in audio interface with the resolution of 24-bit/96 kHz and features:

• Dual master outputs, allowing the connection of speakers for playback and booth speakers (i.e monitoring speakers for the DJ)
• A headphone output for previewing the track
• A microphone input for talking to the crowd
• A line in input for connecting an external audio source.

Serato DJ Intro Software

Bundled in with this controller is the Serato DJ Intro software, designed for music lovers. This software allows for 2-deck digital music mixing on a PC or Mac, to which the DJ Control Jogvision is connected.
