Granted, there are plenty of controllers that can accomplish playback, especially in the VJ’s world.

And they’re buttons that give you that tactile feedback that is missing from so many video playback apps. The 40 key PlaybackPro Plus USB controller provides quick and accurate access to all PlaybackPro Plus show controls and certain navigation controls and clip settings at the touch of a button. I used the PlaybackPro Plus keyboard for the purposes of review and also used the PlaybackPro Plus software. The controller is one of two they produce in order to control the PlaybackPro (and PlaybackPro Plus) software.

Those days ended for me when I came across the PlaybackPro Plus USB Controller and software from DT Videolabs. More and more these days, at least in live production, video is being cued from the lighting desk, and a server somewhere just “plays” the video, or some poor sap has to use a mouse/HID to click a big “button” in some piece of software in the hopes that the hard drive (if you’re still using one) will spin up. There’s a certain thrill that comes when you press the button and get a satisfying click/whirr and everyone watches.

There is one thing that keeps video technicians up late at night more than any other - lack of playback confidence.
