While some companies play safe and strictly adhere to the design bibles laid down by a small handful of key players, some have always done whatever the hell they wanted to do. In a time before being neck deep in lookylikey MIDI controllers, the OODJ was at the cutting edge of computer DJing - the canine's genitals of PCs stuffed inside a nuke proof case running a heavily optimised version of Windows no less. But times change, and so does OODJ, as instead of just audio, it now does HD video. Say hi to OOVJ.

The exact detail of what OOVJ has in store is still to be unveiled, but it will most certainly be a pretty unique experience. Mixing HD video on a laptop is something I'm keen to see for sure. Perhaps the time will come where clubs will have a plug and play video system as standard so that stuff like OOVJ can jack right into and rock a set.

Anyway, the words from Computer DJ:

PRESS RELEASE 16/10/09

OOVJ - break a beat, not your back.

You have heard about it, soon you will be able to get your hands on it. Eagerly anticipated by some of the most respected UK and international DJ/VJs alike; OOVJ - the ultimate hardware for music professionals is about to go mainstream.

Launching in early winter 2009, it is the one stop unit for any professional VJ, encompassing all of your equipment and more, OOVJ has been designed for you to break a beat, not your back.

Jonpaul Wright, Managing Director, Computer DJ Ltd said:

“Playing a gig for any music professional worth their salt is pure euphoria, carting all of your equipment to the stand isn’t! We wanted a product that not only incorporated razor sharp technology but aesthetically and functionally took the sting out of carrying and using all of those separate pieces of kit.

“As the successor to the famous OODJ, which has been a favourite for over five years with the world DJ elite including Paul Oakenfold; the OOVJ offers all of this and a lot more - showcasing audio, karaoke and video through a rugged but sleek anodised aluminium chassis that cradles professional grade audio and video components, the storage of a colossal modern high speed drive, a generous 17” high resolution touch screen, liquid proof keyboard, built in mouse controller, Wi-Fi and slot loading DVDRW drive.”

Jonpaul added:

“We’ve already had a phenomenal amount of support for the new OOVJ from industry professionals such John ‘’OO’’ Fleming and Greg Wilson. To be recognised by individuals of this caliber is a great feat for us and a true recognition of the quality of OOVJ.”

Internationally acclaimed talent Greg Wilson (available at www.electrofunkroots.co.uk) said:

“This looks as slick as they come, I’m really looking forward to upgrading to OOVJ which promises to open a whole new world of possibilities not just for me, but any digital DJ/VJ.

“As well as the aesthetics which are laced with sex appeal this is an ideal unit for someone such as myself who is always on the move. I can’t wait!’’

OOVJ – instant performance, infinite possibilities.
