V-link works through the MIDI out port. Your device sends MIDI signals to trigger light events just as it would trigger notes.
You aren't paying any more for V-link as it uses the same ports and tech you use for MIDI sound...
I'd love to go for one of the Edirol v-jay toys.
They've got a video sampler, but just released a video synthesiser.
Wouldn't mind going for one of the samplers...sounds like fun!
I've heard people using Ableton to do v-jaying.
It is all rather expensive...
ideally you need a video device (sampler/synth) - £600
a video mixer - £1000
a projector - £1000
It's all viable, but I'd get someone to specialise in v-jaying rather than try to be Dr Octopus and do it all!
