Meet the New Flagship Pioneer DDJ-RZX Controller and Software for Mixing Audio and Video
Pioneer are expanding their collection of rekordbox™ controllers with the release of our new flagship controller, the DDJ-RZX.
Designed to make the most of the new rekordbox video Plus Pack, the 4-channel professional controller inherits traits from the CDJ-2000NXS2 multiplayer and DJM mixer series including large jog wheels, multicoloured Performance Pads and high quality sound. It features three 7-inch touch screens, two XLR combo input jacks for distortion-free Mic output, Mic EQ and FX, and an extensive FX unit.
The new rekordbox video software is an optional Plus Pack and is compatible with all the controllers in our DDJ series. You can use it to manage video and image files in rekordbox, then play and mix them live as if they were audio tracks. The software lets you add text to videos and create image slideshows on the fly, and you can use the Camera FX to show the live feed from a digital camera connected to your computer. Video and images are sent to a monitor or projector from your computer’s video output.
The DDJ-RZX is available from July. The controller comes bundled with licence keys for rekordbox dj, rekordbox dvs and rekordbox video.
