Amongst its many accolades, Edirol’s CG-8 has most recently been awarded the Best New Video Product Award 2006 by Club Sytems International magazine at the Club System Awards. Just as synthesis in music prompted new waves of musical creativity so the CG-8 is set to do the same for the visual artist. The CG-8 can take in still images, create motion pictures from these and then modulate them with modifiers and fade controller. Its user-friendliness allows artists to concentrate on making stunning visual displays without getting caught up in complicated operations. Starting with picture files (JPEGs) as the prime source, overlay files (PNG) used for overlays and built in computer graphics, all stored on the internal hard drive, the CG-8 can add any of more than 200 photo effects and then form more than 60 overlay effects before finally passing the output to the image modifiers, which let you add further motion along X/Y/Z axes and control background colour/hue shifting. This final modulation can be set for rate, depth and waveform just like the LFO in an audio synth. The range of pro-VJ gear from Edirol, a brand of Roland, also includes the V4 club visuals mixer and the acclaimed Motiondrive VJ software interface.
