My migration from Black and White to Color, Standard Definition TV Playout!
From 1975 to 1979 during my high school years I did a lot of audio and video projects and experimented with our school's A/V gear.
Creating video was only possible on tape; it was a very fragile recording system. We shot B/W images from one portable camera. A portable, open, reel-to-reel deck recorded it.
I learned to use VHS videotapes and HI8 tapes. In the mid 90’s I discovered the worldwide experimenting using computers and video devices. When it became possible to begin to save video to a computer, I began to experiment making dozens of bad-burned DVDs. (My mom uses them at her church, for her table decorations, for her candles! I've also seen DVD wind chimes too...but other than reflective decorations, there's not a whole lot you can do with them!)
Real video creators today use a high quality computer, and DVD burner, to create a master disc and then they duplicate another disc from the master DVD.
Along my path to understanding most of the technical aspects of creating video recordings, I got lost in the presentation, (the playback) of the finished product.
I have looked at a variety of DVD players and hundreds of audio/video mixing solutions from software to hardware applications. The right software, the type of software most high-grade video presentation companies use, cost about $1,500 to $5,000 per computer license. Then you need to invest in more computers and some kind of networking to do your updates. Therefore I chose to work with an all hardware application, because I produce live video playback for live audiences. I want to play and mix both audio and video (on the fly) for schools and corporate events. Again, I looked at many products and different configuration. Here's what I finally chose.
I went with an all Numark Audio/Video Mixer and DVD Playout System!
(See the product picture attachments)
I purchased (1) AVOM01 Mixer!
The AVM01 is specifically designed for the needs of the professional VJ. Dual audio and video cross-faders and a familiar cueing system provide the most intuitive audio/video interface available.
Separate DJ crossfaders for audio and video
Video mixing options include fades, 96 wipe patterns, picture-in-picture (PIP), Chroma
Key (blue screen) and Luma Key (black screen) capability for superimposing images
2 video effect sections with mosaic, strobe, freeze, paint and invert (multiple simultaneous effects possible)
Joystick control for wipes and picture-in-picture
10 background color options
4 video channels with 4 composite and 2 S-video inputs
2 S-video, 2 composite main outputs and 4 video monitor outputs
3 stereo audio inputs and 1 mic input with audio cueing section and headphone output
2 stereo main audio outputs
Rack-mountable rugged metal enclosure (rack ears are removable for tabletop use)
Ideal for live audio/video performance
I purchased (2) VJ01 Players!
Numark VJ01 Professional DVD/CD/MP3 Player
LOOP, CONTROL AND PREVIEW ANY VIDEO, ANYWHERE.
Designed for DJs wanting to incorporate visuals into their entertainment mix, Numark's VJ01 is a compact, tabletop media player that supports a wealth of video and audio formats.
Featuring a 5.6-inch LCD TFT tilt screen display, the VJ01 boasts pitch-control capability, a slider control for both DVDs and CDs, and soft-touch rubber transport controls. It also supports all standard DVD features, is PAL and NTSC compatible, and allows looping for repeating video clips. Its arsenal of effects such as cue, loop, zoom, angle, and slow motion.
The VJ01's club-tested interface, based upon Numark's legendary CD players, makes operation a snap. With all this, it's the perfect tool for club and mobile DJs searching for a powerful, affordable video solution.
Key Features:
Pitch control for audio and video
Full color 5.6 inch (diagonal) TFT-LCD screen
Tilt adjustment for optimum viewing angle
Cue, loop, zoom, angle, slow motion, and pitch effects

| This article appeared on Radio & Records website published 3-15-04 Don Henley Decries Consumers' Attitudes Towards Musicians The singer-songwriter said during an exclusive Friday-afternoon appearance at XM Satellite Radio's Washington, DC headquarters that the indifference many consumers have about downloading free music from the Internet is especially troubling when weighed against other obstacles artists face. "The record business has never been honest," Henley told an intimate audience of about 50 during the debut edition of XM's Artist's Workshop program. "The record companies don't want to pay artists, and now we have fans stealing from them, so it really puts artists between a rock and a hard place. It sure has a detrimental effect on kids trying to break into this business." Still, he didn't agree with the RIAA's recent effort to crack down on file sharers, which has led to lawsuits against some underage violators. "I didn't agree with arresting children," he said, "even though they were very sophisticated thieves." Henley believes that in an environment where downloaded digital music is increasingly becoming the format of choice of consumers, it's wise for artists to take control and start selling their own music on the Internet.
