Dirty Video Mixer - Dirty Martini - Passive glitch mixer for video with fader, 4-input selection and performance switches
Perhaps you are familiar with the world of dirty mixers for video signals - maybe, you have built your own, or maybe you have simply dreamt of seeing the visions you hear about in hushed tones, in smoke-filled rooms.
It's good that your friends at Herzlich Labs are here to shake you up a little: introducing the Dirty Martini, a dirty video mixer featuring no less than four video inputs, two glitch switches and a DJ-style fader, all in a handy controller-sized package that will elevate your next video performance beyond what you have previously thought possible.
When I say this mixer is dirty, I mean it's REAL dirty. Believe me, I've lived in more than a few sketchy places, I've SEEN dirt with my own eyes, and this... oh, boy, you'd better believe this is up there. The Dirty Martini will mangle, mix, shake and stir your video signals, input into any of the four inputs via RCA cable, from your favourite video-producing device, ranging from downscaled HD video to good ol' VHS. Two input selection switches allow you to quickly switch between inputs, in a pleasingly rough and tumble way, and two additional switches will immediately interrupt the video signal on either of the two channels, regardless of input setting.
Through gentle touches of the interrupt switch, clever fading and input switching, a truly magnificent video performance is easily made possible - even hot-swapping video signals mid performance is no problem with the dedicated input switches at hand. Finally, the design is nice, and pleasantly rounded, and feels good to hold in your little, sticky hands.
What's that? Power supply? Batteries? Not here! This is a dirty mixer, there are no buffers or anything like that to keep things nice and in check! Everything going in is going to come out worse, much like me and my mental health after a decade of working in an office. Uh oh, I said too much, I have to go into hiding now, but you can stay a while longer and have a look at my example photos, can't you?
Maybe you want to be a real video performance boy/girl? Well don't wait, get started today, with the Herzlich Labs Dirty Martini!
