i've no idea why the video link doesnt work, i know how to post a link usually.

Retail price is around £155

There we are children, click on the first link you get

Google found it easily enough

Hopefully American DJ will take these to the NADJ show, along with the X- Series. I am very interested to see these!

Thanks for the Youtube link........as I found this

DJscreen

It looks like you're limited to how many letters are displayed at one time, so to show

"happy birthday mum" would be

happy......scroll....birthday.....scroll.....mum

or congra.....tulatio....ns

see what i mean?


Hmmm maybe not so good then.

it does say you can have upto 30 letters

characters, including spaces

but does it say it shows them all at the same time, or via scrolling?

The picture show "last call" which is 9 characters and looks like the maximum.

wizard, don't rush into the djscreens, have a look on the vj forums first (they're not very complementary) plus the pics on their websites are mock ups

I didn't I purchased a couple of standard projection screens. Have to say I liked the idea tho.

Quick update on this LED messenger light (which finally arrived yesterday)

If you're considering getting the Equinox Carbon LED light - the American Audio LED Messenger is identical but with the message section added, programming new messages is really easy using the remote, although a ps2 keyboard can be plugged in although i dont have one to try this function out at the moment.

It comes with a plug in IR remote receiver on short cable, so you can operate it from anywhere.

I was concerned that not having the whole word displayed would be an issue but it really isnt, the text moves at the right speed to easily read the message (up to 30 characters, including spaces) - the text scroll speed is adjustable but again is untested.

for something that is the latest technology and seemingly good. a retail price of around £150 suggest to me that it wont be much kop.

it has already been exposed for only being able to produce so many alphanumerics at any one time, which would leave pretty much all messages in several parts.

if you're going to be putting single words like 'party'...'welcome' or 'hello' then it will probably be ok. however if you wish to put along the lines of 'hello im your DJ, joe bloggs. i hope you have a great evening' youre going to be there all night waiting for it to scroll round.

id definately want to see this working and have a good go with it before i bought it !

"ADJ Messanger"s have very limited use really, well just messages, no proper show,

ADJ are great at marketing their product but their "American DJ revo 3" look great "in the box" but sucks at a party waste of my money, ok in 2 minute burst then back off for 30 minutes.

big mac

I wasn't that bowled over by it at the NADJ show...

Now the ImpossibLED on the progilght stand I was quite impressed with...


David

the specifications say that the led messenger is linkable.

does anyone know if a longer message, say the full 30 characters, is split and scolls correctly across all the connected led messengers?

Eg if you program "Merry Xmas & A Happy New Year" will the first led messenger show "Merry Xmas" then the next led messenger shows "& A Happy" then " New year" on the last led messenger.

or do all linked units just show the same 9 chars as each other?

I have had a look at this unit.

Wasn't impressed at all and my ex-boss and good friend hasn't sold a single unit!!

It is dim and not particularily eye catching.

Retails at £139 inc vat.
