Anyone know where i can get some software to enable me to display graphics videos and do text (scrolling flashing and such). I know you can get plug ins for virtual dj but there not the greatest plus they are cpu hogging. Anyone Help Cheers ?

on the download page it doesnt say anything about paying £200 or is this a trial version? how do you use the software asin do you use multiple screens and such. Might have to be purchased if it works well

The free download version is watermarked.

I use mine with multiple screens, the built-in web server for remote control via a browser, external videos with/without audio and announcements etc..

Takes a fair amount of twiddling to get all these add-ons working, but you'll be very impressed when you do get it going!

I run VDJ - and one way is to use the new version of clipbank - you can load very efficient flv or vob files. Flv's are great because they are so small.

Secondly if you want scrolling text - you can use the SBDJ text scroller

I also use an SMS 2 Screen system called Iwall.

I use these all at the same time with any adverse affect on CPU. I guess a lot of it is down to your specfication of your pc/laptop.

If you are suffering from high cpu usage you should check your latency as I found out that my wifi card was affecting the performance of VDJ, and just by switching it off or diabling it made a big difference to CPU usage.

I looked at R4 and agree it is a very good programme but I found it a nightmare to configure - but once you get the hang of it it was ok. You might want to look at Resolume or Arkaos Grand VJ as alternatives.

Hope this helps.
