This unit is a 2-channel video selector designed to allow switching between the video output signals from two DVJ-X1 DJ DVD players.
This component is designed to allow use of a fader start signal output from a DJ mixer to perform automatic signal switching; it also
generates sync signals to help suppress image distortion when switching between video signals.

MODE SELECTOR
switch. Approximately 10 seconds are
required to reacquire sync signal.

The discs used in the two players (A and B) should be compliant with
the same signal format (PAL/NTSC). Synchronization cannot be per-

7. AUTO select button/indicator
When pressed to the ON position, the

and when a fader start signal is received from the DJ mixer, inputs
are switched automatically. If the
VIDEO A
or
VIDEO B
button is
pressed manually during the AUTO mode (namely, pressing which-
ever input button is not currently selected), the input will switch to
the one pressed, but the AUTO mode will continue in effect; as a
result, when a fader start signal is subsequently received from the
DJ mixer, the inputs will automatically switch once again.
When the
AUTO
button is pressed once again to the OFF condition
(button indicator goes out), the inputs will not switch even if a fader
start signal is received from the DJ mixer.

button is then released, input returns immediately to
PLAYER B
,
thus allowing quick switching between A/B inputs.
