User Guide

ENABLE / DISABLE – Provides the ability to have the application’s video engine enabled or

disabled. By disabling the video engine ALL video features of the application are not usable

and may increase performance for DJ’s using only the AUDIO features of the application.

Activate – Turn the video engine on or off.

TV Output – (Window) mode only –

provides video output to a framed operating

system window and can not be resized.

-- VirtualDJ Pro ONLY --

With VirtualDJ Pro video can be sent to a

second output for Full screen presentation.

Use Hardware Acceleration – Use DirectX

to compute and display the video.

NOTE: unless you are using a video card that is

fairly old, you shouldn’t turn this off.

Linked crossfaders –

This option allows VirtualDJ to link to the

audio crossfader for controlling video

crossfades. If unlinked (unchecked) the

video crossfade can be controlled using the

video crossfader knob labeled “Cross” underneath the video screen in FullVideo skin.

Decode while hidden –

Provided with a strong performance computer, VirtualDJ can decode video content even when

it is hidden. This will prevent some jolts that may occur when video content is brought into the

mix with the crossfader.

Activate on load –

If a video file is loaded on either deck the video engine is automatically activated. If wanting to

play just the audio track of a video, uncheck this feature so the video engine will not be

activated.

Link video when dropped on Preview Window – Checking this option will utilize the deck’s

video preview window for linking a video to an audio track.

Hide logo – Checking this option will hide the application logo from the video mix window.

Fade to black on volume sliders – Deck will FADE to BLACK when the volume fader is

moved to 0. And will fade up in intensity as the fader is moved towards FULL level.

Audio Only Plug-in – Check this option and select the desired plug-in from the drop-down

box. When playing audio-only files, this option will activate the plug-in to act as a visual.

Example plug-in selection is the Sonique visuals.
