Does PLX-500 support DVS?

Quite simple. I am new to this DVS and I have heard that Rekordbox support it but I need to be sure before I make any purchase, 

I have a Rekordbox license.

And I don't need any box or something like that (I am serato damaged)

No sir, you just need one of the products from the link above and any type of turntable or CD player.  You can purchase control vinyl here.

Fredrik Redegård

Awesome, thanks for the info and fast reply!

@Fredrik > Just to make it 100% clear; the DVS-capable mixer or controller (as @Mark linked) acts as the "box" - that's the interface taking the timecode signal from the vinyl on the PLX-500 and sends it to the software, which then translates the movement and speed of the timecode, and outputs the audio back to that mixer or controller. The PLX-500 itself doesn't support anything other than playing a record and sending that signal out, whatever it may be.

Yeah, I just bought 2x PLX-500 (With two timecode records) and a DJM 250mk2 (With the DVS License). If I understand it correct, I can use that with my Rekordbox to mix music using vinyls as the instrument?

You bet - the DJM-250MK2 is a DVS-compatible mixer and will allow your PLX's to be the source for the timecode. Enjoy!

So if i have the DDJ-SX mk1 (which is not compatible) and a XP1 (compatible) i will be able to read the timecode signal with the xp1 and can run the outputs of the plx500 into my DDJ-SX mk1 and i will be good to go?

@Timo > The XP1 itself does not have an audio I/O to receive the timecode signal from any devices. It's compatible with DVS in that it can control those functions and also ships with a license for it.
