As far as I know, DVS only works with a laptop attached on current tech. It doesn’t feel like it, however, as on the XDJ-XZ and other equipment, you can just use the main equipment’s screen and have the laptop far off to the side. You don’t need to stare at a laptop it just helps decode the vinyl ‘timecode’.
I’m surprised it hasn’t taken off more as its an interesting concept, but I think its because too much can go wrong on a live performance if you choose to do it (touring different events and festivals would be inherent with risk / testing needed unlike just using CDJs or even normal vinyl) and you defo need a backup plan.
