Head-Up Display
the Head-up Display in the upper part of the croSS DJ windows is the control
centre for the external inputs and it contains the Beat matcher, which serves as a
visual guide for getting your tracks beat synchronised. When the media loaded into
one of the players contains artwork, like a cover image, it is shown in the Head-up
Display.

the buttons a/B at the left and the right side of the Head-up Display allow to con-
nect external inputs to player a or player B. the buttons on the left control the
source configured as Left Input and the buttons on the right control the source
configured as Right Input (Preferences dialog, Audio tab).
When there is no external source configured to an input then the corresponding
buttons are disabled, as you can see for the right Input in the image above. oth-
erwise the buttons are enabled and you can click them to select, via which player
the external source shall be audible. an external input can only be assigned to one
of the players.
let's assume that your mp 3 player like the ipod™ is connected to the left Input,
you have an audio file playing in player A and that you wish to play some music
from the mp3 player next. to achieve this you should click button B on the left side
of the Head-up Display to be able to get the music from your mp3 player into the
croSS DJ mixer.
the largest part of the Head-up Display is occupied by the Beat matcher. the Beat
matcher displays the peak/transient information of the tracks currently playing in
the two players. for tracks that have a beatgrid, croSS can also show the grid on
the Beat matcher. additionally, you can enable the Bar Sync meter and the cycle
Sync meter, which serve as a visual guide when beat mixing your tracks. the beat-
grid and the sync meters can be activated on the Display tab of the Preferences
dialog.
